Kate Breakey’s photographic career has been centered on pictures of dead animals, including a series of photograms, a technique she has been experimenting with since art school. She has written that she burns the shadows of each plant or animal onto the photographic paper “with light and with love.” This work was published in the book Las Sombras/The Shadows by UT press in 2012. A native of South Australia who has also lived and worked in Texas, Breakey now resides and photographs in the desert outside of Tucson. She has won numerous awards, including being named HCP’s Artist of the Year in 2004, and her work appears in public and private collections across the world. She is represented in Houston by McMurtrey Gallery. 2. Jennifer Schlesinger is an artist, curator, and educator who holds a BA in photography and journalism from the College of Santa Fe. Her work has been exhibited at the Southeast Museum of Photography and the Chelsea Art Museum. She has received several honors including a Golden Light Award in Landscape Photography from the Maine Photographic Workshops and the Center for Contemporary Arts Photography Award in Santa Fe, NM, both in 2005. She was the Assistant Director of the Santa Fe Art Institute from 2003–2005 and has been the Director of VERVE Gallery of Photography since 2005. 1 KATE BREAKEY (Tucson, AZ) 2 JENNIFER SCHLESINGER (Santa Fe, NM) House Sparrow Flying Right, (2012, printed 2012) From the series Las Sambras Photogram Edition 2 of 10 10 x 10 inches Courtesy of the artist and McMurtrey Gallery (Houston, TX) katebreakey.com mcmurtreygallery.com Signed on verso in pen Retail Value $830 Here nor there, (2011, printed 2014) From the series Here nor There (2011–2013) Albumen print Edition 4 of 9 4.3 x 2 inches Courtesy of the artist and Catherine Couturier Gallery (Houston, TX) jenniferschlesinger.com catherinecouturier.com Signed on recto in pencil Retail Value $1,000 3 BASTIENNE SCHMIDT (Bridgehampton, NY) 4 BRANDON THIBODEAUX (Dallas, TX) Untitled, 2014 From the series The Record Chromogenic print Edition AP 16 x 20 inches Courtesy of the artist bastienneschmidt.com Retail Value $2,400 Birds in Field, Mound Bayou, Mississippi, (2010, printed 2014) From the series When Morning Comes Inkjet print Edition 5 of 10 15 x 15 inches Courtesy of the artist brandonthibodeaux.com Signed on verso in pencil Retail Value $1,200 3. Bastienne Schmidt was born in Munich, Germany and studied art, painting and photography after studying anthropology at the Ludwig-MaximiliansUniversitaet. Schmidt’s art and photography have been widely published and exhibited throughout the US and internationally. She is represented in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Corcoran Gallery of Art; Center for Creative Photography, Tucson; International Center of Photography, The Brooklyn Museum, The Victoria and Albert Museum, among others. 4. Dallas-based Brandon Thibodeaux creates portraits in the documentary tradition exploring life in the American South. As a journalism student at the University of North Texas he focused on agricultural economies. In 2009 he travelled to the Mississippi Delta, meeting people and making important relationships over a fouryear period which resulted in the series When Morning Comes. A solo exhibition of the series has been shown at Newspace Center for Photography in Portland among other venues and will travel to Vienna, Austria in 2015. He is a member of the photography collective MJR, based in New York City. 5. For Stephen Mallon’s series Next Stop Atlantic, the artist spent three years capturing images from Delaware to South Carolina, documenting the NY Metropolitan Transit Authority’s recycling program. During the past decade, over 2,500 subway cars have been deposited in the ocean to help rebuild underwater reefs along the eastern seabed. “After being pushed and stacked like a sardine in these subway cars over the past decade,” writes Mallon, “it’s nice to see the sardine actually getting one of these as its new steel condo.” His work has been exhibited widely, and he has been commissioned by a wide range of clients, including the New York Times Magazine and The Wall Street Journal. Mallon’s photos have been honored by Communication Arts, Photo District News, The New York Photo Festival, the Lucie Awards, International Color Awards, and Photo Lucida’s Critical Mass top 50. 6. Houston-born photographer and mixed-media artist Leslie Field has been working since the late 1990s. Guided by a curious nature, she works in alternative processes, photo-sculpture, and installation. The Kaleidoscope Mandala series expresses the ideas of motion, change, and abstraction that she invites into all of her art. Her work has been exhibited throughout Texas, California, Vermont, and New York. Her artwork is in numerous private collections and in the permanent collection of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. 5 STEPHEN MALLON (Brooklyn, NY) Surface, 2014 From the series American Reclamation Volume 2: Next Stop Atlantic Chromogenic print Edition 2 of 5 20 x 30 inches Courtesy of the artist and Front Room Gallery (Brooklyn, NY) stephenmallon.com frontroomgallery.com Signed on verso in pencil Retail Value $1,900 6 LESLIE FIELD (Houston, TX) “The moon turns it clockwork dream—the biggest stars look at me with your eyes”, (2004, printed 2014) From the series Kaleidoscope Mandala Edition 1 of 1 24 x 24 inches Courtesy of the artist lesliefield-art.com Signed on verso in pen Retail Value $2,700 2014 Print Auction 1 7. Adrián Fernández Milanés was born in Havana, Cuba in 1984, and studied at the Superior Institute of Art. His series Life Style is a visually stunning look into the lives of Cuba’s wealthy class. He has exhibited at Carrie Haddad Photographs Gallery, New York; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and Musee Quai Branly, Paris, France. Fernández’s Life Style was exhibited at HCP in 2011, marking his first solo exhibition in the United States. 8. Houston artist Cara Barer transforms books into art by sculpting them, dyeing them, and then through the medium of photography, presents them anew as objects of beauty. She creates a record of that book and its halflife. Books—as both physical objects and repositories of information—are being displaced by zeros and ones in a digital universe with no physicality. Through her art, she documents this and raises questions about the fragile and ephemeral nature of books and their future. She studied at the Glassell School of Art and the San Francisco Art Institute. Now living in Texas, she uses old phone books, computer manuals, maps, and comic books to create hypnotic sculptures, which she then memorializes through her photographs. 9. Mohammed Saad Al Shammarey was born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1962, and has lived and worked in Houston since 2008. Al Shammarey has established a body of photo-based and video work that is an ongoing commentary of the crises of Iraqi culture: wars, rebellion, estrangement, loss, suffering, and the inevitable personal struggle. Simultaneously, his work is an inquiry into the humanistic elements and ramifications of Islamic philosophy, and an investigation into the yearning of the soul for the sublime. His work has been exhibited in such venues as the British Museum, London; Columbia University, New York; The Station Museum, Houston; and the Cairo International Biennale, Egypt. 10. Houstonian Geoff Winningham is well known as a photographer, filmmaker, journalist and educator. In the 1970s, Winningham’s subjects were either unique to or characteristic of Texas, captured in his distinctive 35mm black and white photographs. He has produced three documentary films, including The Pleasure of his Stately Dome, a study of the Astrodome as a folk theater, which won the Documentary prize at the 1976 Edinburgh Film Festival. His two most recent books, Traveling the Shore of the Spanish Sea: The Gulf Coast of Texas (2010) and Mexico and Going Back to Galveston: Nature, Funk, and Fantasy in a Favorite Place (2011), were published by Texas A&M University Press. He teaches photography in the Department of Visual Arts at Rice University. 11. Torrie Groening is a multi-passionate print enthusiast, whose involvement in over 25 years of printmaking has included roles as artist, master printer, teacher, gallerist, and collector of works on paper. Returning to Vancouver after a decidedly digital decade in California, she has become a master of mixing media. Combining traditional printmaking and photography with digital technology, Groening creates complex photobased collages. In her current work, she layers altered photographs of drawings, prints, objects, and landscapes to create incongruous yet familiar trompe l’oeil images. Her prints are included in museum and public collections across Canada and the US. 12. Luis Mallo was born in Havana, Cuba in 1962. He studied graphic design in New York, but his immediate interest after leaving school became the photographic medium and its creative potential. His series of largescale urban landscapes, In Camera, have been described as cleverly realized perceptual puzzles. He is a recipient of the Cintas Foundation Award, the Sony World Photography Award and The Art Matters Photography Award. His photographs are included in the permanent collections of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, George Eastman House, Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the New York Public Library, as well as other public and private collections. 2 Houston Center for Photography 7 ADRIÁN FERNÁNDEZ MILANÉS (Havana, Cuba) 8 CARA BARER (Houston, TX) Untitled #2, (2010, printed 2014) From the series About the aesthtic possibility of emptiness Inkjet print Edition 1 of 15 19.7 x 19.7 inches Courtesy of the artist adrianfernandezphotography.com Signed on certificate in marker Retail Value $1,700 Shavasana, (2014, printed 2014) Inkjet print Edition 3 of 9 24 x 24 inches Courtesy of the artist and Longnecker Gallery (Houston, TX) carabarer.com longneckergallery.com Signed on recto in pencil Retail Value $2,400 9 MOHAMMED AL SHAMMAREY (Houston, TX) 10 GEOFF WINNINGHAM (Houston, TX) Tradtional White, (2013, printed 2014) Inkjet print Edition 2 of 7 27 x 22 inches Courtesy of the artist and Anya Tish Gallery (Houston, TX) shammarey.com anyatishgallery.com Signed on recto in pencil Retail Value $3,600 Destruction Derby in the Astrodome, (1972, printed ?)

David Wolf is a devoted film photographer, making both color and black-and-white prints by hand in the traditional darkroom. His work has been exhibited internationally and has been acquired by numerous public and private collections. David’s series Nurturing Time: Life in a Backyard Garden is featured in HCP’s current issue of Spot magazine, and recently won top honors in both the International Photography Awards and the Grand Prix de la Decouverte, International Fine Art Photography Competition. A Boston native and Brown University graduate, David now calls San Francisco home, where his work is represented by Corden|Potts Gallery. 14. Lydia Goldblatt trained at the London College of Communications, receiving a Masters’ Degree in Photography in 2006. Her series, Still Here, was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Felix Nussbaum Museum in Germany in 2013, and was recently published as an artist monograph by fine art publishers Hatje Cantz. In 2010 she was nominated for the Sovereign European Art Prize, and in 2011 was awarded the Fundacion Botin Residency Award with Paul Graham. In 2013 she was the recipient of the Magenta Flash Forward Award and International Jewish Artist of the Year award. She has just been announced as 2014’s Grand Prix winner of the Tokyo International Photography Festival Competition. 13 DAVID WOLF (San Francisco, CA) 14 LYDIA GOLDBLATT (London, United Kingdom) Orange Tree, Blossoms, Leaves and Fruit, (2008, printed 2013) From the series Nurturing Time, Life in a Backyard Garden Chromogenic print Edition AP 1/2 19.4 x 23.3 inches Courtesy of the artist and Corden|Potts Gallery (San Francisco, CA) davidwolfphotographs.com cordenpottsgallery.com Signed on mount, on verso, in pencil Retail Value $2,050 Light Lines, 2014 From the series Still Here (2010–2013) Chromogenic print Edition AP 1 (from edition of 6 + 3 APs) 16 x 16 inches Courtesy of the artist and Rick Wester Fine Art (New York, NY) lydiagoldblatt.com rwfa.com Retail Value $2,200 15. Born in Germany, Renate Aller lives and works in New York. Renown for her ocean photographs, Aller began to photograph deserts in 2009 resulting in the series, Ocean | Desert. Aller’s photos capture the similarities and contrasts between the extreme terrains, occasionally including human elements to analyze our relationships with these formidable landscapes. A book of the same title has been published by Radius Books. Her work is held in numerous public and private collections, including the Lannan Foundation, Yale University Art Gallery, George Eastman House, and Hamburger Kunsthalle. She is represented by Catherine Couturier Gallery in Houston. 16. As a portrait photographer, Gay Block began in 1973 with portraits of her own affluent Jewish community in Houston and later expanded this study to include South Miami Beach and girls at summer camp. In 2003, Block’s 30-year portrait of her mother in photographs, video, and words, Bertha Alyce: Mother exPosed, was published by UNM Press and began as a traveling exhibit. In 2006, Block re-photographed women who were girls in her 1981 series from Camp Pinecliffe, 25 years before. Block’s photographs are included in museums and private collections including MoMA New York, San Francisco MoMA, and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. She currently lives and works in Santa Fe and serves on HCP’s Advisory Committee. 15 RENATE ALLER (New York, NY) 16 GAY BLOCK (Santa Fe, NM) White Sand, March 2013 From the series Ocean|Desert Inkjet print Edition 1 of 10 28 x 40 inches Courtesy of the artist and Catherine Couturier Gallery (Houston, TX) renatealler.com catherinecouturier.com Signed on verso in archival pen Retail Value $4,900 Untitled (Four Talk on Beach), 2014 From the series Miami, South Beach Inkjet print Edition AP 23.5 x 18.8 inches Courtesy of the artist gayblock.com Signed on verso in pen Retail Value $1,800 17. Richard Tuschman began experimenting with digital imaging in the early 1990s, developing the signature style that synthesized his interests in graphic design, photography, painting and assemblage. This digital work found a wide audience in the commercial sector, and his work has since been featured on the pages of multiple magazines, annual reports, book jackets, and catalogs. He describes his series Hopper Meditations, “as dramas for a small stage, with the figures as actors in a one-act play… they are rooted specifically in the past, somewhere in Hopper’s mid-20th century. The themes they evoke, though—solitude, alienation, longing—are timeless and universal.” He was the recipient of a 2013 LensCulture Exposure Award for this portfolio of images. 18. Emirati artist Maitha Bin Demithan explores the traditions of the UAE, focusing on some of the rituals and symbolism that have historically made her culture distinct. Theatrically staged on black backdrops, garments such as a burqa, thoab and bisht are revered as precious specimens of heritage, many of which are disappearing from Emirati life. Her portraits consist of multiple scans (“scanography”) manually stitched together, as if by hand. She received a BFA from Zayed University, Dubai, in 2012. This work was included in her solo exhibition Ajyal: Generations on view at HCP during FotoFest 2014. 17 RICHARD TUSCHMAN (Forest Hills, NY) 18 MAITHA BIN DEMITHAN (United Arab Emirates) Green Bedroom (Morning), (2013, printed 2014) From the series Hopper Meditiations Inkjet print Edition 4 of 9 20 x 15.5 inches Courtesy of the artist and photo-eye Gallery (Santa Fe, NM) richardtuschman.com photoeye.com Signed on verso in pencil Retail Value $2,000 Ajyal, (2012, printed 2013) From the series Ajyal Inkjet print 30 x 48 inches Courtesy of the artist Retail Value $1,500 2014 Print Auction 3 19. Living and working near Zurich, Switzerland, Ferit Kuyas committed himself to photography in the 1980s after graduating from law school. Kuyas has published several books, including City of Ambition, featuring large cityscapes from the megalopolis Chongqing, China. Ferit’s photographs have been shown in museums, galleries and festivals in Europe, the Americas, and in Asia. His work is represented in private, corporate and public collections. He has received a number of awards, among them the Kodak Photobook-Award and the Hasselblad Masters award. 20. Amy Blakemore is renowned for her deceptively simple photographs of friends, family, and local landscapes. Her images evoke fleeting aspects of personality and memory and have been shown in numerous exhibitions, including the 2006 Whitney Biennial and a 20-year retrospective organized by The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in 2009. Blakemore has worked for the past 20 years with low-tech, mediumformat Diana cameras known for flaws that produce a flattened perspective, color shifts, vignetting, and blurriness. Blakemore manipulates these flaws to capture the way memory simultaneously records and distorts visual information. 19 FERIT KUYAS (Ziegelbruecke, Switzerland) 20 AMY BLAKEMORE (Houston, TX) Floppy Drive, 2013 Archival pigment print from polaroid transfer Edition 1 of 12 11 x 9 inches Courtesy of the artist and Catherine Couturier Gallery (Houston, TX) feritkuyas.net catherinecouturier.com Retail Value $800 Rooster, 2012 From the series New Pictures Chromogenic print 12 x 12 inches Courtesy of the artist and Inman Gallery (Houston, TX) inmangallery.com Retail Value $2,500 21 ISA LESHKO (Salem, MA) 22 SMILEY POOL (Houston, TX) Disenchantment, 2010 From the series Thrills & Chills Gelatin silver print Edition 11 of 20 9 x 9 inches Courtesy of the artistand Richard Levy Gallery (Albequerque, NM) isaleshko.com levygallery.com Signed on verso in pencil Retail Value $1,100 Olympics, 2014 From the series Summer Olympics | Beijing Inkjet print 12 X 18 inches Courtesy of the artist smileypool.com Signed on recto in pen Retail Value $750 23 BRETT WESTON (American 1911–1993) 24 MANUEL ÁLVAREZ BRAVO (Mexican 1902–2002) Rust and Paint, 1976 From the series Abstractions 2 Gelatin silver print 13 x 10.5 inches Courtesy of an anonymous donor brettwestonarchive.com Signed on recto in pencil Retail Value $4,500 Paisaje inventado [Invented Landscape], (1972, printed 1974) From the series Portfolio of Fifteen Photographs Gelatin silver print Edition 25 of 75 11 x 14 inches Courtesy of Joe Aker & Aker Imaging (Houston, TX) azphoto.com Signed on recto in pencil Retail Value $5,000 21. Terrified by amusement park rides, Isa Leshko began photographing them to explore the fantastic and sinister place these rides held in her imagination. Exploring a range of emotions from anger to shock to exultation, her Thrills and Chills series examines the tensions that exist between fantasy and reality. Leshko grew up in Carteret, NJ, and received a BA from Haverford College where she studied cognitive psychology, neurobiology, and gender studies. She studied photography at the New England School of Photography. Her work is represented by Corden|Potts Gallery, San Francisco. 22. Since the mid-1980s, photojournalist Smiley N. Pool has been collecting images that capture the critical stories of our time. He’s covered the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and 9/11, the travels and funeral of Pope John Paul II, nine Olympic Games, professional sporting events, visiting dignitaries and presidential inaugurations. He is a seven-time winner of the National Press Photographers Association regional photographer of the year award. A native Texan who was born in Galveston, Pool is currently the chief photographer and photo coach at the Houston Chronicle. 23. Born in Los Angeles in 1911, Brett Weston was the second son of photographer Edward Weston. In 1925, Edward removed Brett from school and took him to Mexico. Surrounded by revolutionary artists of the day, such as Tina Modotti, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and influenced as well by the striking contrast of life in Mexico, it was there that Brett first began making photographs. A quality of design was evident in Brett’s early images of the organic and man-made. He appreciated how the camera transformed subjects close up and how the contrast of black and white further altered the recognition of an object. Throughout the decades of the 1950s through the 1980s, Weston’s style changed sharply and was characterized by high contrast, abstract imagery. He concentrated mostly on close-ups and abstracted details, but his prints reflected a preference for high contrast that reduced his subjects to pure form. He died in Kona, Hawaii, in 1993. 24. Manuel Álvarez Bravo, one of the founders of modern photography, is considered the main representative of Latin American photography in the 20th century. His work extends from the late 1920s to the 1990s. As a self-taught photographer, he would explore many different techniques, as well as graphic art. He worked for the muralists Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Between 1943 and 1959, he worked in the film industry doing still shots, which inspired him to realize some of his own experiments with cinema. While he was alive, he held over 150 solo exhibitions and participated in over 200 group exhibitions. He died in 2002 at the age of 100. 4 Houston Center for Photography 25. Adam Magyar finds innovative ways to use technology to observe life. That led him to capture the passing of time and freeze it into still photographs and videos. Using modified or self-built high-tech digital tools and cameras that “see” what the human eye cannot see and the human nature rarely perceives, he has created mesmerizing representations of speeding subway trains and of flows of people on busy sidewalks. Born and raised in Hungary and now based in Berlin, he travels the world extracting his images from the simple, ever-changing nature of daily urban life. 26.

Hiroshi Sugimoto was born in Tokyo in 1948 and moved to New York in 1974 where he continues to live and work. Central to his work is the idea that photography is a time machine, a method of preserving and picturing both memory and time. In references to his Seascapes series, started in 1980, he has written, “Mystery of mysteries, water and air are right there before us in the sea. Everytime I view the sea, I feel a calming sense of security, as if visiting my ancestral home; I embark on a voyage of seeing.” Recent solo exhibitions of his work have been shown in Tokyo, Paris, Venice, New York and Los Angeles. 34. Jefferson Hayman is an artist that works within the themes of nostalgia, common symbols and memory. From his training and environment Hayman has forged an individual visual sensibility. The photographs themselves are handcrafted silver gelatin and platinum prints that seem historically timeless, captured with a delicacy of tonality that harks back to the highest traditions of graphic art. The works are then paired with antique or artist-made frames which place each piece into the realm of unique statements. 6 Houston Center for Photography 31 WALKER PICKERING (Lincoln, NE) 32 PETER BROWN (Houston, TX) Drum Major, (2013, printed 2014) From the series Esprit de Corps Inkjet print Edition 1 of 10 16 x 20 inches Courtesy of the artist walkerpickering.com Signed on verso in pencil Retail Value $1,200 The Cake Palace, Tahoka, Texas, (1994, printed 2014) From the series On the Plains Inkjet print Edition 14 of 25 18 x 22 inches Courtesy of the artist, Harris Gallery (Houston, TX), Stephen Clark Gallery (Dallas, TX), & PDNB Gallery (Dallas, TX) petertbrown.com harrisgalleryhouston.com artnet.com pdnbgallery.com Signed on recto in pen Retail Value $1,250 33A HIROSHI SUGIMOTO (New York, NY) 33B HIROSHI SUGIMOTO (New York, NY) Aegean Sea, Pillion, Mediterranean Sea, Cassis, and South Pacific Ocean, 1991 From the series Time Exposed 9.5 x 12 inches each Courtesy of an anonymous donor sugimotohiroshi.com Retail Value $4,500 Aegean Sea, Pillion, Mediterranean Sea, Cassis, and South Pacific Ocean, 1991 From the series Time Exposed 9.5 x 12 inches each Courtesy of an anonymous donor sugimotohiroshi.com Retail Value $4,500 33C HIROSHI SUGIMOTO (New York, NY) 34 JEFFERSON HAYMAN (New York, NY) Aegean Sea, Pillion, Mediterranean Sea, Cassis, and South Pacific Ocean, 1991 From the series Time Exposed 9.5 x 12 inches each Courtesy of an anonymous donor sugimotohiroshi.com Retail Value $4,500 Chrysler building Gelatin silver print Edition 2 of 25 2.5 x 1.5 inches Courtesy of Madeline Yale Preston in memory of Marty Carden jeffersonhayman.com Signed on verso in pen Retail Value $600 35.

Growing up on Long Island, Mitch Dobrowner felt lost in his late teens. Worried about his future direction in life, his father gave him an old Argus camera. After doing some research and seeing the images of Minor White and Ansel Adams, Dobrowner quickly became addicted to photography. He left home at 21, quit his job, and set out to see the American Southwest for himself. Today he creates images that evoke how he sees our wonderful planet. 48. Using long exposures, ranging from 20 seconds to 60 minutes, David Fokos has worked with the camera’s unique ability to “average time” in order to examine and understand the mechanisms of human perception and to reconcile differing subjective and objective views of the world. He believes that our sense of experience is built up over time–a composite of many short-term events–and that our impression of the world is based upon our total experience. With this series of images Fokos has used the camera as a scientific instrument, in the way a biologist uses a microscope or astronomer using a telescope, to reveal what is felt but often unseen. He was born in Baltimore in 1960 and received a BS from Cornell University. 47 MITCH DOBROWNER (Los Angeles, CA) 48 DAVID FOKOS (San Diego, CA) Cloud and Rays near Benson, AZ (2013) Inkjet Print Edition 3 of 45 14 x 20 inches Courtesy of the artist and Catherine Couturier Gallery (Houston, TX) mitchdobrowner.com catherinecouturier.com Signed on recto in pencil Retail Value $1,000 Nightwatch, Port Townsend, WA (2002, printed 2004) Chromogenic print 13 x 13 inches Courtesy of the artist and Catherine Couturier Gallery (Houston, TX) davidfokos.net catherinecouturier.com Signed on recto in pencil Retail Value $1,000 49.

Upon receiving her MFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1979, April Rapier embarked on an adventurous, if non-conventional, career. Rather than choose one discipline, it made more sense to her to combine sources of inspiration, including photography, writing, music and teaching, each informing the other. She currently is a singer/songwriter with the band Sugar Bayou. A founding member of HCP, she briefly served as its Executive Director in 1987. 12 Houston Center for Photography 70.

Contemplative, interpretive, and uniquely expressed, Svjetlana Tepavcevic’s work explores her surroundings through detailed and long-term observation. Though she has resided in the US for over 20 years, she witnessed the bloody breakup of her native Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina) and lived through the siege of her hometown of Sarajevo, the longest siege of a European city in modern history. The Sea Inside is a series of abstract black-and-white images exploring the energy, complexity and individuality of ocean waves. More than simply being photographic representations, the images in this series are unique and subjective interpretations, imbued with the artist’s emotional connection to the sea. 73. For the series Means of Reproduction, Tepavcevic photographed seeds and seed pods collected by the artist, exploring “the macro embodied within the micro.” Each subject is enlarged many times without regard for its actual size relative to others and floats in a minimalist color field which becomes an illusion of an infinite space. She received a BA from UCLA and MA from the University of Pennsylvania. Her prints are in the collections of corporate institutions, private collectors and museums, including The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; High Museum of Art, Atlanta; and the Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin. 71B S.
