Sarah Moon: On the Edge

An opening reception will be held on February 17, 2024, from 3 to 5 p.m.

The photography of Sarah Moon, one of France’s most renowned contemporary artists and filmmakers, will be presented from February 17 through April 6, 2024. Sarah Moon: On the Edge will survey over four decades of her work.

Dreamy yet dazzling, mysterious and compelling, Moon’s work possesses a powerful signature style, depicting ethereal beauty, transportive places, and moments of magic in many forms. Curated by the artist, more than 30 photographs from the late 1980s to 2022 will be on view at Howard Greenberg Gallery, ranging from her legendary fashion images to landscapes from Coney Island and Tuscany.

“All along, I tried to avoid the anecdote, looking for an echo between what I see and what I feel, trying to reach that visual point of no return, that second that cannot happen again,” Moon stated. “Today, I realize that minimalism means more and more to me whatever I photograph, trying to get to the essential of what I see, cropping the subject out of its context, reducing it to that second, to that limit of time, grasping light before it vanishes. The photos I am presenting here are on the edge of that attempt.”
