photo san francisco

I usually put gallery announcements that catch my interest in another thread (link later), but I really like this photo exposition, so I'm starting a separate thread.

I am not actually a shill for the Stephen Cohen Gallery, which is the promoter of this, but I like the place. I used to drop in whenever I was in that part of LA, back when I lived there, and saw some really neat work. Marc Riboud's photos come to mind first.

Anyway, I got, a bit ago, their brochure for this year's photo san francisco show, as well as a mailer on their present show at their gallery on Beverly Blvd. in LA. I liked the photo on the mailer for that one. (There may be vying elephant photos in the art news lately.)

On Photo SF, which as I said the Stephen Cohen gallery puts together, it looks like 68 galleries exhibiting in the Fort Mason space, plus various lectures (Bill Owens among the speakers, $10. to get into any one particular lecture) That'll be July 21 through July 24.
I went to this event last year and had a wonderful time, even by myself.
Aside from the bath of photography, Green's restaurant is a few feet away from the lecture hall and exhibition space. Oh, yeh, and the SF Bay is right there.

Also, the show in the gallery on Beverly Blvd. from July 7 to Aug 27 features Nick Brandt's photographs from East Africa.
