Lake water photographs by Matthew Brandt
Los angeles-based artist Matthew Brandt has created several new photograph and printed works for two of his ongoing series ‘lakes and reservoirs’ and
‘taste tests in color’. though his body of work features several pieces very classical in composition, drawing their forms from landscape photography
of the american west, brandt’s unique artistic approach includes the incorporation of physical elements of the subject of the artwork itself or varied
alternative media in each finished piece. the artist has developed a hybrid printmaking technique which combines both a revival of antiquated production
methods but also an approach to post-production manipulation that is entirely of his own devising.

In February 1964, Christo and Jeanne-Claude arrived in New York on board of the SS France. Shortly after seeing the tall buildings of downtown Manhattan from the bow of the ship, Christo did the first collages of Two Lower Manhattan Wrapped Buildings, No. 2 Broadway and No. 20 Exchange Place. Later, when Christo and Jeanne-Claude met with the owners to request permission to realize the project, the answers were negative.
