SUMMARY:RICHARD MISRACH
DESCRIPTION:  Fraenkel Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of
	 new work by Richard Misrach\, one of the most influential photographe
	rs working today. Comprised of approximately fourteen large-scale phot
	ographs made over two years\, the exhibition will be on view from Janu
	ary 8 to February 28\, 2009.  Misrach's new photographs mark a radical
	 break with his work to date\, in that they are his first images made 
	without film. Working with a state-of-the-art digital camera yielding 
	astonishing detail\, Misrach has deftly switched positive and negative
	 along the color spectrum. The images extend the artist's longstanding
	 interest in landscape and seascape imagery\, yet they transform natur
	e in extreme and heretofore technologically impossible ways. Rocks vib
	rate with saturated tones\, water's surface shimmers as a vast enigmat
	ic expanse\, and surf takes on improbable deep red shades. Misrach's p
	anoramic “desert scrub” images become even more mysterious as colors a
	re transformed into their negatives – branches become brushstrokes in 
	a photographic “action painting.” The images are both foreign and fami
	liar. Seen in total\, the series suggests an apocalyptic vision of the
	 natural world as we have known it.  Richard Misrach has exhibited ext
	ensively in the United States and abroad. His work is represented in m
	any permanent collections including the Museum of Modern Art\, New Yor
	k\, the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York\, The Whitney Museum of 
	American Art\, New York\, The National Gallery of Art\, Washington D.C
	.\, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Misrach is a recipient
	 of numerous awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship and four Nationa
	l Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. In 2008\, he received the Lucie 
	Award for Achievement in Fine Art Photography and in 2002\, the Kultur
	preis for Lifetime Achievement in Photography from the German Society 
	of Photography. He lives in Berkeley\, California. \n
