First, thank you to everyone who bought pictures from our Los Angeles benefit. We raised $44,000 and have paid out 100% of it to people in the arts community whose names were vetted and given to us by curators at LACMA, The Getty, as well as L.A. galleries and printers who we work with. As we surmised, a donation of cash was the most helpful thing to people who lost their homes, studios and all or most of their possessions.
We are now posting a new online exhibition that was scheduled to launch the beginning of January but postponed because of the fires. “25 for ‘25“ highlights 25 of the artists we work with in mostly unfamiliar or new images. Photography has myriad purposes among which are a remarkable ability to create life affirming images as well as to record more sobering realities. This exhibition focuses on the former.
You will see two pictures (The Matthew Porter and the Arne Svenson) that sold in the benefit but as new releases we are pleased to offer them as regular sales. I hope you enjoy the selection.
