Tina Barney: Monograph published by Rizzoli
-
Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce the release of Tina Barney, a comprehensive monograph of the artist's three decades working in photography, published by Rizzoli USA.
Join us for a book signing with Tina Barney & Peter Galassi at 293 Tenth Avenue on October 5, 5 – 7 PM.
Internationally acclaimed American artist, Tina Barney burst on the scene in the early 1980s with her provocative yet intimate photographs capturing the domestic lives and social rituals of the elite. In choosing color over black and white and producing large-format prints, she broke the tradition of established fine-art photography at the time. Her unstintingly honest portrayal of her subjects, many of whom are family and friends, remains completely original.
Covering three decades of the artist’s provocative yet intimate large-scale color images capturing the domestic life and private moments of the American and European elite—her family and friends—this book will appeal to contemporary-art lovers, photography book collectors, and anyone with an interest in modern culture.

About the Artist
Tina Barney
Over the course of her 40-year career, acclaimed American photographer Tina Barney (b. 1945) has illuminated the inner lives of her subjects, observing the generational repetition of familial traditions and rituals as played out in domestic settings. Recognized for her large-format photographic portraits realized in vibrant color—and more recently, for her foray into landscape photography—Barney demonstrates the same complexity and sensitivity whether she is shooting world-renowned celebrities or the figures and faces of those known to her personally.
Barney’s photographs are in numerous public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA; and the Nicola Erni Collection, Zug, Switzerland; among many others. Barney's work was included in the 1987 Whitney Biennial and has been the subject of major recent exhibitions at the Kunsthalle Wien, Austria; the New Orleans Museum of Art, LA; the Frist Center in Nashville, TN; the Barbican Art Gallery, London, United Kingdom; and the Museum of Art, Salzburg, Austria. In September 2017, Rizzoli USA published Tina Barney, an eponymous monograph spanning her four-decade international career.Barney's third solo exhibition with Kasmin, The Beginning, opened in March 2023. Concurrent with the exhibition, a book of fifty works was published by Radius Books.

Elliott Puckette: Unfolding reviewed in The Brooklyn Rail
by Ekin Erkan November 2024Elliott Puckette’s eleventh solo exhibition at Kasmin Gallery, Unfolding, includes two bronze sculptures and eight ink, gesso, and kaolin on wood panel paintings. The latter’s gessoed grounds and ink base layers are applied in marbled monochromatic washes of swirling aniline grey and grisaille silver. Where these iron clouds break, uneven crepuscular cleaves of dusted alabaster light splinter through like lightning. Each work is marked by white razor blade arcs—Puckette’s signature lines. The gyrations of these serpentine, lineal furrows are first etched and then deepened with cross-hatching as Puckette further subtracts the line from the wood panel, the recesses making negative space material. -
