Etherton Gallery is pleased to announce that it is returning to the 2020 edition of Photo LA. The fair takes place Jan 30-Feb 2, 2020 at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California.
The gallery will bring its new portfolio, Danny Lyon: THIRTY PHOTOGRAPHS 1962-1980. This is a rare opportunity to acquire some of the photographer’s most iconic photographs along with rarely seen images all in one collection. Produced in an edition of ten, each portfolio contains 30, 11 x 14 inch gelatin silver prints, a colophon, and an essay by Terry Etherton, President of Etherton Gallery, and is housed in an attractive, handcrafted clamshell box. The photographs selected for the portfolio combine Lyon’s most iconic images with Etherton’s personal favorites. Danny Lyon: THIRTY PHOTOGRAPHS 1962-1980 is the product of collaboration among Terry Etherton and Etherton Gallery, Danny Lyon, master printer Chuck Kelton of Kelton Labs, and Jace Graf of Cloverleaf Studio.
In his essay Etherton writes, “From his early work in Memories of the Southern Civil Rights Movement, through The Bikeriders and Conversations with the Dead, to the Destruction of Lower Manhattan, Uptown Chicago, and the Southwestern Portfolio: New Mexico and Mexico, Danny Lyon has taught me and continues to teach me about the humanity and inhumanity all around us…these thirty photographs help provide a narrative for the history of my work and relationship with one of the great documentarians of our time.”
Etherton is also bringing a selection of iconic images such as Irving Penn’s Cuzco Children (1948), Robert Frank’s, Hoover Dam, Nevada (1955) and Cindy Sherman’s Untitled (Lucille Ball) (1975/2001).
Photo LA brings the best of the photography world together with a collaborative platform that links dealers and collectors with a gamut of galleries from around the globe. Over 65 galleries will be attending this year.
The portfolio includes 30 photographs that highlight both Lyon’s most iconic work, and a selection important but less well known images. It includes photographs from Memories of the Southern Civil Rights Movement, the Bikeriders, Uptown Chicago, Conversations with the Dead, the Destruction of Lower Manhattan, and photographs from the Southwest and Mexico series.
