Color Negative / Richard Misrach

Richard Misrach’s large-scale photographs now on view at PaceWildenstein are stunning examples of landscape photography.  All of the images in this show have been inverted to resemble enormous color negatives. The environments are still recognizable, many of the photos like one in which a lone figure appears in the distance seem almost other worldly.  These works mark a radical shift from his past work and show a new era in photography’s history. With the advent of digital photography, the analog process and the color negative will eventually be obsolete and with this body of work, Misrach carefully examines the evocative beauty of the color negative.
