Item Description
Lynn Davis' photographs stop your mind. That's why we have featured them so often in the Shambhala Sun over the years. The January 2008 issue features several of her works and profiles Ms. Davis' contemplative approach and ability to capture "the power, mystery and sacredness of the world's ancient monuments". Her show Persistence and Form: Photographs 1978 to 2010 will be on view at the Knoedler Gallery in New York until October 30.
With an insight cultivated by a longtime Buddhist practice, she has imbued her images with a quality beyond the aesthetic--offering a palpable experience of permanence and impermanence. She works in black and white and prints large after meticulous work in the dark room. The result is magnificent. The stupa (sacred burial monument) captured in this photograph is in the ancient Burmese capital of Pagan.
This is a gelatin silver enlargement print, toned with selenium. Printed from the original negative under the artist's direct supervision. Mounted on archival board. Uneditioned print from the Burma/Cambodia/Thailand Series. Signed and dated, in pen, verso. Provenance: Lynn Davis, New York.
10% of the proceeds of this sale will be donated to organizations working on the development of human rights and democracy for the people of Burma.
Dimensions: Image size is 19x19 inches, trim size 20x24 inches.
Lynn Davis has explored the world in search of the greatest universal sites, both man-made and natural. Davis's photographs have been exhibited internationally and collected widely. Her work appears in many museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art and the J. Paul Getty Museum, and at the Edwin Houk Gallery on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
