RaMell Ross and William Christenberry at Pace in NYC

[warden]

Good article in NYT [paywall] that features two photographers that I admire. I missed the opening of this show when in NYC for the Edward Hopper show, which was so mobbed with people that I would rather have seen the Pace show. Ah well.

In Hale County, Alabama, Two Visions of Place

Inspired by the pioneering photographer William Christenberry, RaMell Ross moved to the Deep South and found fertile terrain. Now Pace Gallery puts their art in conversation.

Great article, thanks. Always interesting to read one artist reacting to another, and especially when talking about issues that can be so charged.

Yes, saw the show yesterday. Long-time Christenberry fan. Especially haunting was his KKK collection. All resonates well with RM Ross. Very powerful stuff.
