Artist's
Biography
Having begun his acclaimed photographic
career as an apprentice to the great documentarians
Dorothea Lange and Robert Frank, Ralph Gibson
is known for his highly distinctive vision
in still photography. By intensifying contrast
and emphasizing the grain of the film in
his prints, Gibson concentrates on the minute
details: the edge of a café table,
the arc of a hip, the glint of a fork. Gibson’s
works are both formally vigorous and eternally
evocative. His photographs are in major
private and public collections worldwide,
including the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
the Museum of Modern Art, and the Bibliotheque
Nationale.
