Barry Friedman ltd. is pleased to present Interiors, an exhibition of digital C-prints by the internationally acclaimed American photographer Michael Eastman. This exhibition will debut his new series Italy, and will be accompanied by three previous sets of work Cuba, Vanishing America, and Urban Luminosity.
Shot primarily in Milan and Venice, Michael Eastman’s Italy series depicts grand interiors that retain their original Italian Renaissance decorative motifs. These homes have been virtually untouched for generations and maintain a haunting atmosphere of neglect and decay. Eastman’s work is known for depicting homes in disrepair, streets emptied of pedestrians, and business devoid of customers. The the haunting feeling of abandonment is offset by the rich saturated jewel-like tones they are presented in.
Eastman’s photographs are included in numerous public and private collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Michael Eastman was born in in 1947 and currently lives and works in St. Louis, Missouri.
