Rodney Smith's Iconic Photos at The Photography Show 2026
At The Photography Show, organized by AIPAD, six monochrome images by the renowned Rodney Smith are showcased until April 26, 2026. Curated by Gilman Contemporary, this collection features works created between 1974 and 2007, juxtaposing earlier pieces like 'Pears' (1974) with later works such as 'Zoe Sleeping with Mask' (2007). The exhibition emphasizes Smith's distinctive humor, exceptional use of light, and surreal style. L'Anne Gilman, the founder and a close friend of Smith, curated this display as a heartfelt homage. The exhibition can be found at booth A10 in the Park Avenue Armory, New York.
