Richard Estes' Photographs Stand Alone in New York Exhibition
Hey! So, there's this cool exhibition called "Richard Estes: My Camera Is My Sketchbook" happening at the Schoelkopf Gallery in New York. It’s a pretty big deal because it's the first time his photos are being shown as standalone art pieces. The exhibition features scenes from New York City and Maine, which are important places for him. Usually, he would just use photos for reference, but this is a big change for him. He had some other shows recently, like "Urban Landscapes" in Maine and "Voyages" in London, both in 2021, plus "Painting New York City" in New York last year. You can check it out this summer!
