Laurie Simmons has an ambitious exhibition currently on tour. "Big Camera/Little Camera," a survey of some two hundred photographs, two films, and a selection of three-dimensional pieces, including props used in some of her staged tableaux. This exhibition opened at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas, from October 14, 2018 to January 27, 2019 and is now at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago until May 5, 2019. (A print of "Tourism: Chartres" is represented in the show.
Laurie Simmons’ engagement with non-human subjects ranges from her earlier works, in which she photographed miniature scenes of post-war domestic splendor, to her more recent use of life-size sex dolls that appear to be engaged in surprisingly believable activities. Endowing dolls, puppets, and ventriloquist dummies with a very human sense of longing and loneliness, Simmons creates psychologically astute critiques of women’s roles in their myriad incarnations from housewife to sex object. For the series “The Love Doll: Days 1-30” (2009-2011), Simmons transformed her home into a dollhouse and shot a series of photographs documenting the process of becoming acquainted with her custom-made Japanese “love doll”, with the doll appearing to feel increasingly at ease in her surroundings as the days passed.

- Phillipe Halsman Portrait Photography Lauren Bacall Black and White Framed 1944By Philippe HalsmanLocated in Buffalo, NYThe work offered for sale here is an original vintage silver gelatin print hand created by Halsman in 1944 and exhibited at the International Center for Photography.

His more famous subjects included the likes of Marc Chagall, Le Corbusier, Audrey Hepburn, and Albert Einstein. He also had a 37-year collaboration with Salvador Dalí, which resulted in several famous surrealist series including the “Dalí’s Mustache” portraits...Category
