Huxley-Parlour Presents Joel Meyerowitz: Select Works, 1962–2019

Huxley-Parlour in New York will host 'Joel Meyerowitz: Select Works, 1962–2019' from June 5 to July 11, 2026, featuring 25 photographs spanning the artist's career. Meyerowitz, born in New York in 1938, is a pioneer of color photography as fine art, alongside contemporaries William Eggleston and Stephen Shore. The exhibition traces his evolution from 1960s street photography in New York to contemplative large-format landscapes in Cape Cod, notably from his 1978 photobook 'Cape Light'. Meyerowitz's work emphasizes transient moments and the 'nearly invisible', influenced by jazz musicians like Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, and Miles Davis. His legacy extends to photographers Gregory Crewdson, Harley Weir, and Alex Webb, who share his commitment to heightened perception. The exhibition resists chronology, highlighting continuities across his oeuvre. Meyerowitz draws inspiration from Robert Frost's essay 'The Figure of a Poem', valuing surprise in image-making. The show is his fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, curated to encourage slow, immersive looking.
