We have so much else in NYC & it's not nice to be piggy, but "alt" shows
are few & far between -- and missed.
So Lou Spitalnick's "Portraits: People, Objects, Flowers" are a special
pleasure -- great photographs & exquisite prints (photogravures,
engravings, monotypes and platinums). True, calling it a "show" may be
excessive for a row of prints under glass on the wall of the Manhattan
Graphics Center at 481 Washington St [212/219-8783], but all the better to
see them without the distractions of "artistic" framing.
It might also be mentioned that the remarkable portraits of men include
one especially dashing southerner, Sandy King. As a token of Lou's talent
(I wonder, what IS that lens !?), Sandy looks simultaneously rugged and
poetic. Many of the negatives, incidentally, were made by Mark Nelson
(so maybe HE did it ?).
In any event, if you can get to the Canal St stop on A train or #1 or #9
subway before Oct. 31, see it. You could even walk -- there are sidewalks
absolutely all over New York.
