Howard Greenberg Gallery presents (In)visible Humanity: a perspective on how the human condition is reflected in, and transformed through, the photographer's lens. This abbreviated exhibition of highlights from our Art Basel stand, demonstrates the breadth of artistic interpretation inherent in the photographic medium.  

In each work, human presence - hidden from society, anonymous, fleeting, disguised - is made visible in some special way to us, the viewers:  

Dorothea Lange's iconic 'Migrant Mother' is offered as a grid comprised of 4 different prints; together, these four images give fuller expression to the poignancy and power of her portrait of Florence Thompson.  

Aaron Siskind's oversized 9-picture installation of 'The Pleasures and Terrors of Levitation', uses the figure to create visual rhythms; bodies are released from earthly constraints to become free-floating objects.  

Edward Burtynsky's panoramic observation of mechanized humanity engaged in chicken processing unmasks the contemporary conditions involved in mass consumption.   

Mary Ellen Mark's large format polaroids of high school prom dates take their subjects out of the margins, showing these proud young individuals to the world, for who they are.  

Robert Frank's emblematic ‘Sagamore Cafeteria, New York City, 1955’ , a key image from his travels for what became 'The Americans', glimpses the soul of quotidian existence in the USA's heartland.  

Collaborating with the would-be models in her series 'Real Beauty', South African photographer Jodi Bieber remarks that she was able to "create a space for each woman to explore their own identity in relation to beauty, and to live for a couple of hours in an environment of elements of fantasy."  

Additional works by Ray Metzker, Arnold Newman and Jaroslav Rössler, among others, each add to the dialogue between viewer and artist: what do we miss, and what do we really see, when we more closely observe those inhabiting the world around us?
