A number of exhibitions this summer and fall include work by artists represented by Ann Stewart Fine Art.
Works by Alex Harris, Margaret Sartor, Bill Bamberger, and Larry Schwarm, along with legendary masters William Gedney, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eudora Welty, Sally Mann and many others, are included in Beyond Beauty: Photographs from the Duke University Special Collections Library and the accompanying catalogue. The exhibition at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University includes photographic material from the 1860s to the present, selected from Duke's Rare Book, Manuscript and Special Collections Library. The exhibition will be on view through October 18.
The work of Christopher Sims continues to gain national recognition. Sims was awarded two prestigious exhibitions the summer: juror Catherine Edelman, director of the Catherine Edelman Gallery in Chicago, after viewing the work of 400 photographers submitted to the Griffin Museum of Photography in Boston, selected Sims's project on mock Iraqi and Afghan villages on U.S. Army bases for a two-person exhibition, with Dana Fritz. Sims's photographs from this project were also selected as one of six bodies of work by juror Trevor Schoonmaker, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Nasher of Art at Duke University, for inclusion in the Light Factory's Annuale, which was on view in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Sims's work can be seen in the exhibition War on Terror: Inside/Out, a two-person exhibition with Stacy Pearsall, that has traveled to Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville, Georgia. The exhibition, which will run through November 28, was curated by Mark Sloan of the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston, where is was first shown earlier this year.
