About the Item

Philippe Cheng (American, b. 1961) "Untitled, Greece, 2005", signed, titled and dated verso, C-print (chromogenic print) mounted on aluminum with UV ultra non-glare plexiglass Philippe Cheng is a fine art photographer based in New York with studios in New York City & Bridgehampton, Long Island. Born and raised in New York City, he was educated at The School of Visual Art and New York University. His landscape book, “ Still, The East End Photographs ” was published in the fall of 2015. "Bullets in the Sand", his Coney Island book project, explores growing up in an inner city neighborhood against the backdrop of an historical neighborhood. These images provide a sense of the complexity of the growing up within the shadows of The Wonder Wheel and the Cyclone. Of a dreamland represented by the beach and the amusement park and the reality of living within the projects which have come to symbolize the harshness of inner city life. The images in “Echo Still“, follow in the tradition of B&W New York street photography. He is directing his first feature documentary entitled, “On the Cusp“. This documentary film was shot during the historic election of 2008. Illuminated by the words and images of 175 women, and filmed on the Eastern End of Long Island, the film speaks against forced silence, while honoring chosen silence – creating an affirmation that every voice matters and is necessary for true democracy. In the early 1990's he worked at Magnum Photos, assisting photographers Gilles Peress, Inge Morath, Erich Hartmann and Eve Arnold, where he learned that, whatever the subject matter whether a portrait or an interior, one could create images with meaning, style and emotion.

  • Vintage C Print "Of Time and Change" Boulders on a Sea Shore
    By Sonja Bullaty
    Located in Surfside, FL
    1981, Chromogenic Print. It is supposed to be signed lower right recto but has not been examined out of frame. Provenance: Bernice Steinbaum Gallery, New York; ARCO Chemical Company, Newtown Square, PA. Sonja Bullaty (October 17, 1923 - October 5, 2000) was a Jewish American photographer. Bullaty is known for her "lyrical composition" and strong use of color during her fifty-year collaboration with her husband, Angelo Lomeo. Bullaty and Lomeo's photographs appeared in LIFE, Time and Audubon magazines and journal.They have both exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the International Center of Photography, the George Eastman House, UMPRUM Museum in Prague, in the Nikon House galleries and other venues. Bullaty was born in Prague to a Jewish banking family. Her family gave her a camera when she turned fourteen. Since Bullaty had been forced to leave school at the time, the camera was a "consolation gift." When Bullaty was eighteen, she was deported by the Nazis to Poland, where she was kept in the Lodz ghetto, and then later taken to Auschwitz and Gross-Rosen concentration camps. During a death march near Dresden, she and a friend successfully hid in a barn and were able to escape and return to Prague. When she got back to her home city, she discovered that no one else in her family had survived the Holocaust. Bullaty, "her head shaved," saw and answered an advertisement to be the helper to Czech photographer, Josef Sudek. As his assistant, she mixed chemicals for the darkroom, organized his negatives and learned from his sense of composition.[1] Sudek called her his "apprentice-martyr." Sudek's work often focused on the Czech landscape and windows, such as in the series The Windows of My Studio (1940-1954). Bullaty also photographed windows, but unlike Sudek, who photographed his own windows looking out, Bullaty photographed windows looking into buildings. Bullaty published a book, Sudek (1978), about her mentor, and it was the first publication of his work in the West. Bullaty found work with a photographer on her third day in New York. Also in 1947, she met Angelo Lomeo. They were brought together when she was inquiring about a darkroom in a building he managed. Lomeo was intrigued by Bullaty's accent and went to see her. They started photographing together a year later, traveling and sharing resources; during their time together, they became close. Bullaty and Lomeo were married in 1951. Later, when she was married, she and her husband would visit Sudek and bring him photography supplies. They visited him in Czechoslovakia "almost yearly." In 1971, she helped mount an exhibition of Sudek's work in New York. As photographers, Bullaty and Lomeo started using studio cameras...
