Paul Vinet's 'Learning From New York' photos with painted interventions exhibited with Hannelore Baron collages

From January 27 to March 5, 2005, the Senior & Shopmaker gallery in New York presented an exhibition featuring French artist Paul Vinet alongside emigre Hannelore Baron. Vinet's series 'Learning From New York' included five color photographs of NYC, with white text overlaid, first shown in 2000/2001. Among these were three images of the Met and a scaffolded structure, along with two 2004 pieces named 'People' that depicted crowd scenes against white backdrops. Critic Fabienne Boulineau lauded Vinet's work, which drew inspiration from Robert Venturi's 'Learning from Las Vegas.' In the main gallery, Hannelore Baron's collages, made from ink and frayed fabrics, reflected her experiences escaping WWII Europe, embodying themes of speech and vulnerability.
