About the Item
Black and white unique silver gelatin print, (chemical print on fiber-based paper), in black frame. There is a purposeful crackle texture around the circles that provides dimensionality to the work. There is no glass or acrylic covering the image so none of the texture of the work gets lost.
Betsy Kenyon’s work is a merging of different processes; using darkroom techniques as her medium, Kenyon blurs established lines between drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture. Each darkroom print is one of a kind, made without a negative. Each part of the image is a unique, split-second exposure/gesture where incremental advances become differences in tonal value and ultimately differences in a perceived visual space. Even though Kenyon’s works are produced chemically in a darkroom, Kenyon refers to them as “darkroom drawings.”

Betsy Kenyon lives and works in New York City. She received her BA from Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York, and her MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is a recipient of a City Artist Corps Grant and has been a visual arts resident at Pioneer Works, Lower Manhattan Cultural Center, and Brooklyn Darkroom. She has exhibited in shows internationally and recently had a solo exhibition at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She will be participating in a group show at the United Nations, opening November 2023. Kenyon’s work is a merging of different processes; it challenges distinctions between 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional experiences, capturing normally imperceptible time events. Using darkroom techniques as her medium, Kenyon blurs established lines between drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture. Each darkroom print is one of a kind, made without a negative. Even though Kenyon’s works are produced chemically in a darkroom, Kenyon refers to them as “darkroom drawings” because they feel less photographic and more drawing-like to her. Her artwork can be found in the following collections: Centre Georges Pompidou, The Art Institute of Chicago, Photography Collection; Museum of Modern Art/Franklin Furnace Book Collection; Whitney Museum of American Art, Library; Metropolitan Museum of Art, Thomas J. Watson Library; Groniger Museum, Special Collections; New York Public Library, Print Collection; and the Yale University, Art and Architecture Library.

1991 "Gate" Large Scale Signed Vintage Silver gelatin Print Photograph
By Zeke Berman
Located in Surfside, FL
Gate Taught Version 1991. Large format silver gelatin photo. signed and dated.
Zeke Berman’s still lifes are fabrications derived from the material of ordinary and intimate experience, reconstituted to satisfy the demands of improvised play, monocular vision, and the special characteristics of photographic description. They are concerned with the pictorial aspect of sculpture and the provisional nature of realistic indication. In the central tradition of still-life art, they aim to establish an unsuspected order in the congregation of unremarkable things.
Since the late 1970's Zeke Berman has been making singular, studio-based photographs. These works reflect his long standing interest in visual cognition, optics and
the intersection between sculpture, photography and drawing. The formal range of his work and his sculptural use of materials is varied, original and idiosyncratic. Berman’s work has been collected and exhibited in museums such as The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan, Whitney, Art Institute of Chicago and LA
County Museum. His work was featured in the first New
Photography Exhibition, 1984, at MoMA. Awards include Guggenheim, NEA and NYFA Arts Fellowships. Berman lives and works in New York City.
from MOMA A World of Its Own: Photographic Practices in the Studio examines the ways in which photographers and other artists using photography have worked and experimented within their studios, from photography’s inception to the present. Featuring both new acquisitions and works from the Museum’s collection that have not been on view in recent years, A World of Its Own brings together photographs, films, and videos by artists such as Berenice Abbott, Uta Barth, Zeke Berman, Karl Blossfeldt, Constantin Brancusi, Geta Brătescu, Harry Callahan, Robert Frank, Jan Groover, Barbara Kasten, Man Ray, Bruce Nauman, Paul Outerbridge, Irving Penn, Adrian Piper...
