We are most pleased to announce Beth Dow’s review in the current issue of The New Yorker. (Cover date: December 3, 2007)

Seven Stumps by Beth Dow

Fieldwork, an exhibition of black and white palladium prints by Minneapolis-based photographer Beth Dow, remains on view at the gallery through next Saturday, December 8th, 2007. Vince Aletti’s review the exhibition appears in this week’s edition of The New Yorker:

BETH DOW 
This photographer’s New York début is smartly understated—modest but memorable. Dow’s images of woods and fields nod to the landscape tradition reaching from Eugène Atget to Robert Adams, and their quiet beauty is underlined by the richness of her platinum-palladium prints. Dealing with the overfamiliar subject of man’s rude intrusion into the natural world, she’s not always subtle—stacked logs and felled limbs abound—but she knows when to step back and allow an image to breathe. Her pictures of a lone tree in a row of stumps and a pile of smoking stubble under a sad gray sky aren’t just taken; they’re felt. Through Dec. 8. (Bekman, 6 Spring St. 212-219-0166.)

Beth also has an edition available on 20×200. You can be the proud owner of an archival pigment print of Beth’s Bags (below) for as little as $20.
