210 11th Ave Andrea Frank Untitled (Venice) (2004) |
Taken as a whole, it is a visual roster of the maritime giants in today’s global market. Individually, each is a unique portrait that speaks to the many dichotomies and contradictions of modern technological innovation. For the artist, these massive and stunning constructions are as beautiful in appearance as in purpose.
To photograph these ships, the artist approaches at water level: in this way, she emphasizes the monumentality of her subject and the vastness of its capabilities, its power, and, conversely, its vulnerability.
Andrea Frank was born in Germany and lives and works in New York and Cambridge, MA, where she teaches photography and related media at M.I.T. She has exhibited in the US and internationally. This will be her first exhibition with the Edward Thorp Gallery.
