John Baeder, Untitled, London, U.K., 1969
@john_baeder is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost painters of the Photorealist school. His seminal work, represented in collections worldwide, focuses on diners and American roadside attractions, and reminds us of their place in our collective consciousness.
His early black and white photographs, taken between 1962 and 1969, before he burst onto the New York art scene with a solo exhibit of paintings at legendary Ivan Karp’s OK Harris Gallery, are less known.
Remaining for many years in Baeder’s personal archives, Susan Edwards, former Executive Director of the Frist Art Museum, wrote of these images:
“For decades he regarded his own photographs as source material. Inevitably, Baeder’s photographs are being reconsidered and recognized for their stand alone power in the artist’s oeuvre.”
Please see mbabram.com for a recent update featuring these remarkable photos. Baeder’s work is co-represented by MB Abram, Los Angeles, and @acagalleries, New York.
