Go again to see the URBAN SCENE exhibit at the Portland Museum of Art – up until 8/17. Several of the paper works have been removed so they are not under the lights too long to cause damage and two new artists have work in their places.

David Wolfe, owner of Wolfe Editions on Pleasant St. in Portland, is a palladium print artist (and is represented exclusively by VoxPhotographs). Four of Wolfe’s palladiums purchased recently by the PMA are now on view as part of this exhibit (“Checkmate”, “Kennebec Street”, “Portland Company” and “Portland Company Doors” all 2007). See more of his work by clicking on either link in this paragraph.

Mark Klett, based in Arizona, was the inspiration and mentor behind the recent MECA show “Re-Visioning Portland” and if you missed that one, you missed something very, very good. The Portland Museum of Art purchased one of Klett’s works “Panorama of Congress St., Portland Maine, September 2007 with the Baxter Building circa 1901″ Inkjet print. The image is about 6 feet long and really fun to study for a while. Klett has published a book of his work: View Finder: Mark Klett, Photography and the Reinvention of Landscape. I’m going to head over to the MECA library (see this blog category “Maine Resources I Love” about this library) and find a copy. I can’t find a website just for Klett, oddly enough, but you can see more of his work at www.ethertongallery.com,  www.lisasettegallery.com or  www.pacemacgill.com. A huge project Klett is involved in is The Third View  – a Rephotographic Survey of the American West – and you can learn more about that at www.thirdview.org. Happy hunting.
