About this Event

Please join us for the first public exhibition of prints selected from Drew Carolan's monograph: Native Eye: New York City in the Late 20th Century. Drew will be there to sign books, answer and discuss his photographs documenting an important era in the city’s history.

On view and available for acquisition will be ten large format single edition (1/1) exhibition prints struck exclusively for the exhibition as well as selected works from Drew’s New York City portfolio. The Native Eye Book will be available in three collector editions:

• signed hardback
• boxed book and a signed print set
• book and mini portfolio of three 12x12 signed prints.

"Drew Carolan's Native Eye is like a Time Machine taxi driven by the sharpest cabby in the 5 boroughs. I grew up on the lower east side so his images are uncanny to me, embodying moments I've long forgotten and/ or never experienced, like the dreams of a long lost brother. I have seen what he has seen, but he has captured what was fleeting in judicious frames both loose and deftly chosen. He captures moments in time I know exist no more. His love for a city that is no longer is heartbreaking and sweet to me. He has a way with people as well, both incisive and respectful, intimate and removed. He's an historian of forgotten history and an artist able to capture those moments when the ever-transforming city and its people offered themselves up to his camera witness as art, as narrative, and as eternal." -- David Duchovny, Native New Yorker
