The exhibition, Printer Savant: Lumiere Press and the Art of the Photo Book, features various limited edition photo books from acclaimed artists such as Bruce Davidson, Saul Leiter, Gordon Parks, and others. Each book shows a nuanced balance of word and image, paying close attention to the conversation the two art forms have with one another. The images themselves do the talking, as the artists’ formidable visions seemingly jump off of the page entirely.
Howard Greenberg Gallery and Lumiere Press have had a longstanding relationship in creating limited edition photography books, each one of them seemingly more vivid and powerful than the last. Howard Greenberg and master book maker Michael Torosian combine their exceptionally keen eyes to create pure mastery, and their skill sets feed off of each other like no other. Through this collaboration, we have been exposed to some of the finest photographic publications of this century, including the monumental 2007 release An American Gallery: Howard Greenberg 25 - Twenty Five Years of Photography. Their joint effort is not to be overlooked in any way, for without them the medium of photography publication would not be nearly as big as it is today.
