Harriet Gans, photographer who showed her work in New York galleries and museums A native of Manhattan, Ms. Gans was a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and held a master's in psychology from Columbia University. She was a professor of photography at Pace University. She had solo exhibitions at the Julie Saul and Pindar Galleries in New York. She contributed studies of flowers to the In Bloom Traveling Exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in 1990. an exhibition, "In Celebration of Harriet Gans: Artists of the MacDowell Colony," consisting of 56 works by 16 painters and print makers In photography, she explored nature, mythology and spirituality, producing work that was shown in solo and group exhibitions; the Museum of Modern Art included her flower studies in its 1990 traveling show, "In Bloom." Ms. Gans also contributed to The New York Times and other publications, and taught in the art department of Pace University The photographer's later work was divided into three phases, each of which is represented in the Krasdale show. These include luminous arrangements of seed pods photographed against a black background, vivid abstractions of flowers in various stages of bloom and decay and the haunting "Longing" series, in which eternal mysteries are poignantly captured. The curators have underscored the themes in Ms. Gans's life and work with paintings and graphics by artists like Benny Andrews, Heidi Fasnacht, Clare Romano...

Malcolm Lubliner was in the right place at the right time. The artist had been working and teaching in Southern California for a number of years before he became a full-time photographer in 1968. Entrenched in Los Angeles’s burgeoning art scene, Lubliner was hired as a contract photographer for the publishing workshop Gemini G.E.L. to document its behind-the-scenes activities. He would later become the official photographer for the Art and Technology Program at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), which paired artists with technology companies in the region. Lubliner’s collection of negatives, contact sheets, and prints—newly catalogued as part of the special collections at the Getty Research Institute—showcases some of the 20th century’s most notable artists and demonstrates his insight into their artistic processes. Lubliner photographed the technical and collaborative efforts that went into producing iconic works such as Jasper Johns’s Numerals, Claes Oldenburg’s Giant Ice Bag, and Frank Stella’s Protractor series, while also creating intimate portraits of the individual artists as the driving forces behind them. He captured artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Irwin, Richard Serra, John Altoon, and Sam Francis at work both at Gemini and in their own studios. Also present in many of the photographs are staff members of Gemini, including Kenneth Tyler and Stanley Grinstein. An equally important part of the collection are Lubliner’s photographs of social events that were held by Los Angeles’s prominent art collectors and dealers. Accomplished and rising artists alike mingled and celebrated with the art world’s movers and shakers, such as Leo Castelli, Betty Asher, and Maurice Tuchman, establishing partnerships that would help define their careers.
