David Gilbert's 'Stationary' at Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery
David Gilbert's exhibition 'Stationary' at Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery in New York runs through June 20, 2026. The show features archival inkjet prints that capture transient moments of light, paper, and drawings in his studio. Works like 'Up in the Air' and 'Stationery' explore photography's ability to freeze ephemeral arrangements. Gilbert, who worked for the late Tony Feher, shares Feher's focus on humble materials and collaboration with light. The prints, mostly 30 x 20 inches, reveal meticulous detail including pinpricks and tape marks. The exhibition includes the largest piece 'Stationery,' depicting writing paper with ivy and a castle drawing. A monograph titled 'Lilies' surveys Gilbert's past decade of work. Critic Bill Arning notes Gilbert's aesthetic of humility and his place in modernist photography tradition.
