This post is long overdue but still I wanted to get it up.
In the spring of 2013 I was able to make it up to SFMoMA for the Winogrand exhibition. I always enjoy viewing his work and this exhibition was excellent. I loved seeing all of Winogrand's iconic images again as well as so many never seen before photographs. When Winogrand died in 1984 he left behind approximately 10,000 unprocessed rolls of film because he photographed more than he could keep up with. Luckily these unprocessed rolls of film, went to the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson where they were finally developed and catalogued. SFMoMA and The National Gallery of Art considered Winogrands entire body of work now and co-produced what is now my favorite exhibition. I had a chance to see John Szarkowki's Winogrand exhibition at MoMA, in New York, in 1988 and that exhibition had a huge impact on me as a photographer. The 1988 exhibition was my favorite until I saw SFMoMA's exhibition.
Although the exhibition has moved on the catalogue is still available here. SFMoMA and Yale University Press published "Gary Winogrand" which is the most complete retrospective of his work. Edited by Leo Rubinfien the book has contributions by Tod Papageorge, Sarah Grenough, Susan Kismaric, Erin O'Toole, and Sandra S. Phillips. The book provides great insight and shows all his iconic images as well as a vast number of images from the unprocessed rolls of film. If you like Winogrand this book is a must have
The current Winogrand exhibition is now headed to Europe, below is the schedule
Schedule: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, March 9–May 31, 2013; National Gallery of Art, Washington, March 2–June 8, 2014; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, May–August 2014; Jeu de Paume, Paris, October 2014–January 2015; Fundación MAPFRE, Madrid, March–June 2015.
