Platinum/Palladium Prints
October 6-November 24
Enderlin Gallery will be presenting its final exhibition with the
highly acclaimed platinum/palladium photographs of Robert
Kozma. Kozma, a Guggenheim Fellow, vintage 1990, has several
Manhattan shows to his credit and will be exhibiting a selection of
his still life and landscape works.
Kozma chooses the 19th century Platinum/palladium process which
allows for a higher sensitivity to detail; a range of warmer tones and
fine grain, contrast and rich blacks. The portrayed images, often
resembling aquatints, are exposed on negatives to the sunlight.
Vintage platinum/palladium prints look fresh decade after decade.
Editions of several of the prints on display can be found in the
collections of MOMA, the MET, and other distinguished venues.
Photographers who are susceptible to natural wonders, earthly or
human, are easy to understand. Natural beauty inspires them and
they want to preserve and transmit it. Other photographers, like
Kozma, have chosen a more complex route. He deliberately
develops an unnatural subject and then shoots it with the intention
of yielding something of greater beauty or interest. By
manipulating the lenses of his non-digital, large-format camera,
Kozma photographs intricately staged arrangements of common
objects. The camera permits him to manipulate spatial relationships
and perspective, flattening or deepening the picture. Many of his
works have a surreal edge or a romantic aura, but nothing is as
important as the light he captures.
Also on exhibit is the collection of paintings, ceramics, sculpture,
photography, furniture, jewelry, drawings and prints featured in
our main gallery downstairs.
An Artist’s Reception and Farewell Gathering will be held at
Enderlin Gallery on Saturday, October 6th from 2-5 pm. All are
invited to partake in food and wine with the inspiring company of
Robert Kozma and his impressive photographs. Please join the
gallery in thanking all their artists and patrons for their generosity
and support over the years.
