Romanticism

Adamson Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new photographs by Lou Reed: stunning black and white images of landscapes and architectural motifs, shot on the artist’s travels to Scotland, Denmark, Big Sur and elsewhere. The photographs are taken with a digital camera that Reed had adapted to “see” in the infrared zone, which gives them as aura of strangeness, or otherworldliness. They have a timeless quality but are simultaneously very modern, like Reed himself. They are surprisingly small in scale, making these striking natural images personal, portable, and intimate.

Lou Reed’s stunning new photographs will be exhibited at the Adamson Gallery in Washington, DC from July 25 – September 5th.

Opening reception will be held Saturday July 25th 6:30 – 8:30pm. Visit >www.adamsongallery.com for more information.
