 Janet Borden, Inc. is pleased to announce INDUSTRIALS, an exhibition of vintage platinum-palladium photographs by JAN GROOVER.
Over her long career, Jan Groover managed to coax out the subtleties and intricacies of black and white photography to an extreme that few others achieved. The range and depth of her platinum-palladium prints, often on onion-skin parchment, continue to amaze us.
In the early 1980s Groover took her 8”x10” camera outside to the almost empty streets of Brookly… more
Janet Borden Inc is pleasedto present "PHOTOGRAPHS", an exhibition of a dozen good photographs.
The pieces range from Martin Parr's Pink Poodle, to Boyd Webb's 1996 extraordinary Viva, a still life with fake snakes. John Pfahl's Klimtscape changes up the scale of the works. These are wonderful individual photographs, which somehow inform each other and are enhanced by being shown together.
Classic images and fabulous color share the vocabulary of good art. A rar… more  Janet Borden, Inc. is pleased to announce TINA BARNEY/SILVER SUMMERS, the long-awaited exhibition of black and white photographs by TINA BARNEY.
Concurrent with her extraordinarily nuanced color photographs, Barney has been photographing her subjects in black and white for the past twelve years. Still using a large format camera, she now translates the scenes into graphic tones of white and black. These are not just de-colored images; for Barney, they are an examination of another way of photog… more This exhibition celebrates the publication of "Landscape and Industry", a monograph covering fifteen years by Dewi Lewis Publishing: www.dewilewis.com
Landscape and Industry is both a set of photographs covering a range of landscapes and industries, and an exploration of how contemporary art can draw on the influences of early industrial “record picture” photography and 19th century “Naturalist” landscape painting. Photographed on large format in a matter of fact aestheti… more Janet Borden Inc is please to present CITY VIEWS, a group exhibition including many gallery artists, including Tina Barney, Martin Parr, Jan Groover.

A rare vintage Weegee print shows The Empire State Building fending off a summer strike of lightning. John Pfahl’s Jeff Koons’s Puppy is the vintage version that is currently reprised at Rockefeller Center. Martin Pa… more
In John Pfahl’s first major body of work, the renowned series Altered Landscapes, Pfahl used everyday materials such as string and tape to create three-dimensional disruptions in the landscape that looked two-dimensional in the photograph. By inserting patently false lines, and incursions into sometimes banal, often picturesque landscapes, Pfahl pointed out and played up the photographer’s authority over the scene. His point has been that the photograph is a creation,… more 
The exhibition presents new digital works by acclaimed painter and filmmaker Alfred Leslie.
Alfred Leslie (American, b. 1927) is a renowned painter and filmmaker. Famous since the 1950s for his abstract and figurative painting, Leslie has updated his craft for the digital age. His realistic painting style has been merged with modern technology to create fantastic hybrid views, which the artist calls pixel scores.
Fictional characters, complex and open to interpretation, populate these images… more 
Fred Cray’s UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPHS .
These are indeed unique photographs, so select early to get the best selection.
These pieces feature the accidental and unexpected connections of an almost aleatoric process. In these experiments, Cray formalizes the coincidental by emphasizing the conscious process of composition. Cray’s multiple layers imply movement, both of time and image, which sets a cadence that is both visually rigorous and seductively intimate.
The results present… more
Janet Borden, Inc. presents ROBERT CUMMING - RED CARPET, a wonderful new exhibition of his paparazzi pictures from the seventies.
Red Carpet Press Pass, by Robert Cumming
In the sixties, I put a couple hundred thousand miles on the odometer, driving across the U.S. The further west the new Interstates took you, the stranger the landscapes became. Beginning in Los Angeles in 1970, I started filling up slide drawers with categories of
things peculiar to California and its neighbors to the nort… more  JANET BORDEN, INC. is pleased to present OF, BY, FOR, ABOUT… WOMEN. It is a show that considers collecting photographs. The exhibition will run from September 17 – October 19.

A rare classic Robert Cumming conceptual image from 1982, Watermelon and Chair, sets the tone of the show… more JANET BORDEN, INC. is pleased to announce MARTIN PARR: USA COLOR, an important retrospective exhibition of photographs by renowned photographer MARTIN PARR. All of these images have been taken in the USA, over a period of almost twenty years.
Parr’s observation is a deadpan look at the styles, the excess, the banality of the culture. He travels the world, observing human behavior with a wry and enthusiastic vision, which has now come to rest on the American scene. Color is bright and an… more Janet Borden Is pleased to announce a new exhibition, BOULEVARD, by the German artist HANNO OTTEN. This is Otten’s fifth exhibition at the gallery, and it continues his visual discourse on the nature of color. Pure vivid color is Otten’s language.
In these photograms and photographs, Otten literally dissects color photography and uses the individual elements to create unique images. Lush bands of color comprise the Boulevard Section. These are complemented by Otten's elegantly… more JANET BORDEN, INC. is pleased to announce "ARTICULATE", an eclectic new show by artists including Tina Barney, Alfred Leslie, Robert Cumming, Neil Winokur, Donald Sultan, Mary Ellen Mark, Fred Cray, Ray Mortenson, Jan Groover, John Pfahl, and others.

Almost exclusively non-narrative, the images articulate the subject in a crystalline manner. Layers of information are… more MARY ELLEN MARKProm6 DECEMBER 2012 - 26 JANUARY 2013Janet Borden, Inc. is pleased to announce Prom, a new exhibition of unique photographs by the esteemed documentary photographer MARY ELLEN MARK.
