Since the beginning of the new decade, the gallery\u2019s roster has grown to include Liz Deschenes, Kota Ezawa, Martine Gutierrez, and Carrie Mae Weems, who have been featured in solo exhibitions along with shows by longtime gallery artists Robert Adams, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Nan Goldin, Richard Misrach, Hiroshi Sugimoto and others. The program has presented exhibitions curated by artists from various disciplines, including Carrie Mae Weems\u2019s selection of photographs by Diane Arbus, Sir Elton John\u2019s take on Peter Hujar, and film director Joel Coen\u2019s view of Lee Friedlander. After a pause during the pandemic, the gallery returned to art fairs near and far including Art Basel, Paris Photo, and FOG Design+Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
