Keld Helmer- Petersen: “122 Color Photographs” at Yossi Milo Gallery
July 17 – August 29

Yossi Milo Gallery presents a solo exhibition of color photographs by Danish photographer Keld Helmer-Petersen. “122 Color Photographs” showcases images from the 1940’s, a period during which colored photography did not fit the definition of fine art.

Nancy Rubins: “Our Friend Fluid Metal” at Gagosian

Rubins’ awe-inspiring sculptures are predicated on synthesis, radically articulated mass, and explosive ideas in three dimensions. Geological in scope and metastatic information, these rhizomatic sculptures brim with dark energy, pointing to the inexorable proliferation of man made refuse.
