Blog round up: Accommodating Nature
Accommodating Nature: The Photographs of Frank Gohlke, one of American Photo's 2007 Best Retrospectives of the Year, was also featured on several photography blogs near the end of 2007.
The 5B4 blog reviews Frank Gohlke's entire oeuvre of photography books and declares that Accommodating Nature is his latest success:
Throughout his other books, Frank has exhibited not only his talent for making images but also his remarkable talent for writing. What is an added joy about this new book is that Frank ties all of his various projects together with a running narrative of text that covers his life with photography as a near constant companion. Uncharacteristic of most retrospective type books, this one is not constructed with a strict chronological order to the images. The photographs follow the text in this regard and pleasurably serve as flash back and memory alongside Frank's steady narration. . . . If you are not familiar with the work of Frank Gohlke then this book would be a perfect introduction.
The muse-ings blog links to this review and also praises the exhibition of Accommodating Nature photographs at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Accommodating Nature exhibition runs through January 6th at the Amon Carter Museum and will then move to the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts from April 16 through July 13.
