RICHARD MISRACH (b. 1949, Los Angeles, CA),
'Cargo Ships (January 11, 2022, 5:02 pm), 2022', 2022/2023
Seascape Exhibition Poster
Beautiful poster from Fraenkel Gallery's Richard Misrach: New Old Pictures/New New Pictures exhibition in San Francisco, CA in 2023. The exhibition marked the debut of his new series, Cargo, atmospheric studies of maritime traffic that raise questions about international commerce and the supply chain upon which the world now depends. Dimensions: 16" x 20" (41 x 51 cm) sheet. Excellent condition never framed or displayed.
The photos that comprise Cargo, which Misrach began shooting in 2021, were taken from the same position in San Francisco's bay, looking south and east across the water. Taken at different points of the day and during different seasons, the sun and the lamp posts at the Port of Oakland provide the only sources of light in these images. As such, the time of day affects the viewing experience of the photos. In this particular picture, taken at sunset, the sun shines from the foreground to the background, creating depth until the background disappears into a void-like haze. However, not only does the light add dimension, but the blending of the sunset into the horizon of the sea and the lighter coloring of the still water juxtaposed against the darkness of the moving water contrasts the stillness of the boats, which places the image in paralysis. The sky and the ocean become one as the boats float through an almost vacant space, as if reflecting the stasis and uncertainty of its industry.
Richard Misrach's photographs are held in the collections of most major institutions, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Museum of Modern Art, New York, which recently acquired nearly 100 of the artist’s works for its permanent collection. He has had one-person exhibitions at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., the Art Institute of Chicago, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Musee d’Art Moderne, Paris. In addition, Richard Misrach’s work has been the subject of more than 20 monographs.
