500 years of women in art.
that’s a lot of pale faces…
This is awesome!
But yes, very white. Should more accurately be titled 500 years of women in Western art. Or 500 years of women in Western painting.
Whoever did this did a great job.
Peter Schjeldahl recently wrote about the rise of the art fair, and Frieze New York’s opulent début on Randall’s Island. Andy Freeberg, whose photograph accompanied the article, has been taking pictures of art fairs since 2009. Here, a selection.

Photobooth: Amazing Tintype Portraits
We love wet plate photography. In fact, we’ve posted about it a few times on the site, most recently in a piece about Ian Ruhter and his incredible mobile wet plate rig. The process of making wet plate photographs is just that, a process. It’s exactly the opposite of shooting digitally in that respect. Not to mention the fact that the raw materials needed, the plate and the chemicals, have to physically be made before the image can be. Still, for many photographers, the process is well worth the outcome. Photographer and co-founder of San Francisco based Photobooth, Michael Shindler, recently began offering tintype portraits to his customers. For US$60 and in about 20 minutes, you can walk out with a one of a kind 4x5 tintype portrait. Since the shop is a storefront, customers feel less pressure about just walking in and looking around. Michael says the response has been amazing, with some days finding him making upwards of 60 portraits. Awesome.
