| Kazuo Kitai: Shin Sekai Monogatari (New World Story)--SIGNED
"Kitai observed the goings-on [in a downtown area of Osaka curiously called 'New World' (shinsekai)] as if the whole were a stage full of wonderful characters. Open the curtain, take a look, and close the curtain. Kitai's outlook is nothing if not humane. On the obi the term 'shinsekai' is transcribed as 'wonderland', 'lost world', and 'third world'".—Titus Boeder, The British Museum

Blog Interview with Mitch Dobrowner
This week on the photo-eye blog Anne Kelly had the opportunity to ask photographer Mitch Dobrowner a few questions about his newest storm photographs, which are currently on display at the gallery. In addition to this mini-interview, and as a special treat, Dobrowner sent along a few short movie clips he shot on his iPhone while out chasing a few storms.
Dobrowner's work will be on display at photo-eye through December 10th. For more information on this or any other work in the gallery, please contact photo-eye Gallery Associate Director Anne Kelly by email or by calling the gallery at (505) 988-5152 x202.

A Closer Look — Real Fake Art.
"Wandering through a gallery whose collection I wasn't well acquainted with, I happened into a room where several Francis Bacon paintings hung. Completely unprepared for my reaction, I found myself grateful for the bench conveniently placed right in front of them. Bacon's paintings are raw and powerful, disturbing and emotionally arresting. They are paintings that make me stop in my tracks, which makes it all the more odd to see Bacon's Study after Velázquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X in a narrow alley, held up by a sweet faced young woman who stands nearly a foot shorter than the canvas. It is Bacon's painting — or rather, it is his composition, his subject, very nearly his color choices — but the painting in this image was produced by the woman who holds it." — Sarah Bradley on Michael Wolf's Real Fake Art photo-eye Blog

Dies Irae by Paolo Pellegrin
"I felt compelled to listen to the 13th century hymn Dies Irae while looking at Paolo Pellegrin's collection of the same name. The hymn's first lines describe the apocalyptic world the listener is about to enter: Dies iræ! Dies illa/Solvet sæclum in favilla:Teste David cum Sibylla! (Day of wrath! O day of mourning! See fulfilled the prophets' warning, Heaven and earth in ashes burning!). Pellegrin brings viewers into mournful, wrathful worlds that are man and nature made: West Bank violence, the Kosovo and Iraq wars, Hurricane Katrina, the Indonesian tsunami." — Joscelyn Jurich from the review of Dies Irae by Paolo Pellegrin

A by Gregory Halpern
"These days America's Rust Belt seems to be growing — the long collapsed centers of American industry have metastasized and are merging with the larger landscape of economic woes plaguing the United States. Most often evoked by politicians to decry the stagnant state of the American economy or to celebrate past greatness, it is a landscape often heralded, but rarely visited or known." — Adam Bell from the review of A by Gregory Halpern

Gay Block: About Love—Signed
"Here,
for the first time, About Love surveys more than
30 years of Block's intimate and moving portraits.
She explains the title thus: 'Through photography,
I have learned about love. I hadn't learned
about it at home or in school... I couldn't have
learned about love without photography, and
I'm still learning.' Organized chronologically, and published in an oversize format that is designed to evoke the idea of a family album, the book offers a thorough overview of the artist's
approach to portraiture."—the publisher READ MORE
