A PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO NEPAL


Jay Tamang is a Marin County resident who was born and raised in Nepal. His connection to the communities affected by this disaster is deeply personal. As a child, Jay walked approximately two hours each way to attend school. That experience shaped his commitment to giving back and supporting communities in Nepal. Over the years, Jay has helped raise funds to build three schools in rural Nepal and has participated in relief efforts following the devastating Nepal earthquake.

 

Today, the crisis is personal once again.

 

Some of Jay's cousins and people from his village remain missing following the recent disaster. Jay is working to mobilize immediate assistance for families affected by the flooding and landslides.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MISSION

Jamie Forbes Photographs: The Galactic Dust SunSets Series & Animals 

“The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across  our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are  chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively,  but literally stardust.” ― Neil deGrasse Tyson 

I captured the intrinsic energies in each landscape or animal pictured seeking to initiate a dialogue between the  viewer about beauty in the environment and stewardship: “we live with others” all are participants in sharing  and shaping our environment. ©all rights reserved ~Galactic Dust Sunset/Animals/Jamie Forbes/SunStorm Art Pub.

The White Room Gallery exhibition now-October 12th. See below update!

 

THE WHITE ROOM GALLERY

Presents

CAPTURED

SEPT 1ST - OCT 12TH 2026




















MONICA VITTI, SOPHIA  & CATHERINE DENEUVE PAINTINGS BY JOHN FRANCIS GALLAGER


Curators’ Quote

‘THE IMAGINATION.

THE VIEWER’S ATTENTION.  

A MOMENT IN TIME.

This exhibit coincides with our partnership with the Hamptons International Film Festival so with that in mind portraits of movie legends like Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Brigitte Bardot, Catherine Deneuve and Monica Vitti take center stage alongside vibrant abstract paintings that would enhance any set design. 

There is a strong element of storytelling in Captured.  Why is that woman alone in the parking garage?  Who is Catherine Deneuve calling on the phone and why does she look so scared?  

Mugshots of Bowie and Hendrix is the literal interpretation of captured creating their own narrative, with Morrison shown captured several times.  

Evocative black and white photographs are reminiscent of classic film noir and Hitchcock.  Beauty is also captured in this exhibit with elegant paintings of flowers and mirrored butterflies and the perfect stiletto.  Large abstracts create worlds within worlds, while mixed media floppy disks of Porsche and Rolex capture the spoils of success with a playful nod to the past.  

A lot is captured in Captured.   Purely by design.

Henry Wessel's black and white Photographic exhibition at the Grolier Club September 8, - November 14, 2026

Glimpse the photographer Henry well acclaimed photographs of American life, and landscape of the America West at the Grolier Club!! Worth seeing how his eye capture the essence of the 1070's 

 

Henry Wessel – Photographs and Books

On View September 8 – November 14, 2026

NEW YORK CITY — The Grolier Club presents a spotlight exhibition on photographs and books by Henry Wessel (1942–2018), curated by Grolier Club member Jack Gray from his collection. On view from September 8 through November 14, 2026, in the Club’s Second Floor Gallery, Henry Wessel – Photographs and Books features more than 65 photographs, including Wessel’s “Incidents” and “Traffic” portfolios in their entirety, and highlights from Wessel’s full body of work from more than four decades. A catalogue, published by The Grolier Club, will be available this autumn.

 

Wessel first came to prominence in 1972 with a solo exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and his practice initially centered on exhibitions with related catalogues. He later moved emphatically to making sequences of photographs intended as one work. These were issued as portfolios and published as books with minimal context.

 

Curator Jack Gray met the artist in 1976, when he was one of Wessel’s undergraduate students at the San Francisco Art Institute. Gray began to collect Wessel’s work while still a student, and a chance meeting 20 years later led to a close friendship. Wessel’s work now forms the core of Gray’s personal collection. “Hank and I often looked at photographs together. We loved talking about them. A core dialogue centered on a question: What made an interesting photograph?,” writes Gray. “His commitment to making what he called ‘still photographs that function as visual haikus’ was consistent throughout his career.”


Exhibition Highlights

One of Wessel’s earliest works on view is Untitled (1968), a photograph of a deserted road with mountains in the distance, bisected by a telephone pole. This work was featured in MoMA curator John Szarkowski’s influential 1973 book Looking at Photographs: 100 Pictures from the Collection of The Museum of Modern Art as the last of the 100 images, and Wessel was the youngest photographer included in the book. Another enigmatic early work on view, San Francisco (1973), features an older man in a dark suit, seen from behind as he stands on a beach and looks out at the ocean.

Wessel’s “Traffic” and “Incidents” portfolios are shown in full in the exhibition. “Traffic,” 28 black and white photographs made in the 1980s and issued as a portfolio in 2017, is limited to images of people in cars, taken from a car. Wessel commuted from his East Bay home to his teaching job in San Francisco and discovered that he could take advantage of the morning and evening light to photograph on the road. He prepared the camera for one-handed use—because “a glance was enough”—and soon he was looking forward to the daily drive.


The “Incidents” portfolio was assembled in 2012 from 27 black and white photographs that Wessel had taken over decades; none had been published or exhibited before. The images are fleeting moments in everyday California life, often bathed in Wessel’s signature bright sunshine, such as Incidents No 5 (undated), in which passengers in a car seem to emerge from the shadows with each closer look.

In the 1990s, Wessel created the “Real Estate” and “Night Walk” projects. “Real Estate” was his first sustained project in color, as he returned to a subject and approach that attracted him from the first roll of film he shot—photographs of houses taken from a car window. In 1995, walking his dog at night in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, Wessel became fascinated with how the world is reconfigured by the lights at night, finding inspiration for his “Night Walk” series: “The spot lighting of particular areas, the lack of ambient light, the unnatural way that shadows are cast, all take us to an unfamiliar place, a world that is stage-like with its implied drama.”


The exhibition also features select work by photographers who inspired Wessel, such as Walker Evans, Weegee, and Helen Leavitt, as well as friends and peers like Tod Papageorge, Garry Winogrand, and Lee Friedlander. Publications by German publisher Steidl, which closely collaborated with Wessel to reproduce his work with great attention to detail and minimal text, are also on view, including books of Incidents and Traffic/Sunset Park/Continental Divide.



Wessel said, “I don't have an attitude of going out to take pictures. I simply take pictures. If there’s light out and my eyes are open, it’s usually reason enough to be able to work. It’s the facility that the camera provides that makes photography to me a very vital medium, a very challenging medium and in a sense, a very indulgent medium. The preparation to work is almost nonexistent.”

Programming

The Grolier Club will present free public programs related to the exhibition, including a panel on Wednesday, October 28, at 6:30pm. More information and updates can be found at http://grolierclub.eventbrite.com.

About The Grolier Club

Founded in 1884, The Grolier Club is America’s oldest and largest society for bibliophiles and enthusiasts in the graphic arts. Named for Jean Grolier (1489/90-1565), the Renaissance collector renowned for sharing his library with friends, the Club’s objective is to promote “the study, collecting, and appreciation of books and works on paper.” Through the concerted efforts of an international network of over eight hundred men and women—book and print collectors, antiquarian book dealers, librarians, designers, fine printers, binders, and other artisans—The Grolier Club pursues this mission through its library, its public exhibitions and lectures, and its long and distinguished series of publications.
