GALERIE MAGAZINE: Liaigre Mounts an Exhibition of Robert Farber’s Ethereal Photography

‘The Organicity of Time,’ which explores the beauty of aging across several of the artist’s series, includes a never-before-seen work

Known as the “painter with a camera,” photographer Robert Farber’s career has spanned five decades and garnered attention from a number of notable connoisseurs, including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who published his book, By the Sea, at Doubleday. To many aesthetes, time is the greatest enemy. Aging and beauty typically stand in opposition. But, in a new collection of work, entitled “The Organicity of Time,” Farber presents a different view. 

Featuring 11 photographs from five different Farber collections (“Deterioration,” “Running Horses,” “Polaroid,” “Iconic Nudes,” and the “Wet” series), the exhibition is on view at Liaigre’s Manhattan showroom in collaboration with the Selects Gallery. “The collaboration between Robert Farber and Liaigre felt very natural as they both draw on their exceptional expertise and savoir-faire while embracing the impact of time and natural change,” says Selects Gallery’s curator Marie Audier D’Alessandris.
