Lee Friedlander: Mannequin
frAenkeL GALLerY
Lee Friedlander is one of the few artists in any medium to have sustained a body of influential work over five decades.
to make the photographs in Mannequin, he returned to the hand-held, 35-mm camera that he used in the earliest
decades of his career. over the past three years, Friedlander has roamed the sidewalks of new York City, Los angeles
and San Francisco, focusing on storefront windows and reflections that conjure marketplace notions of sex, fashion and
consumerism, while recalling atget’s surreal photographs of parisian windows made 100 years earlier. thoroughly
straightforward, their unsettling and radical new compositions suggest photographs that have been torn up and pasted
back together again in near-random ways.
Lee Friedlander (born 1934) first came to public attention in the landmark exhibition New Documents, at the museum of
modern art, new York, in 1967. the range of his work since then—including portraits, nudes, still lifes and studies of people
at work—is anchored in a uniquely vivid and far-reaching vision of the american scene. more than 40 books about his work
have been published since the early 1970s, including Self-Portrait, Sticks and Stones, Cherry Blossom Time in Japan, Family,
America by Car, People at Work and The New Cars 1964. His career was the focus of a major traveling retrospective organized
by the museum of modern art in 2005. His work can be found in depth in the collections of the museum of modern art,
the metropolitan museum of art, the San Francisco museum of art and the national gallery of art, among many others.

Marilyn Monroe: NYC, 1955
Photographs by Peter Mangone
dAnzIGer GALLerY/T.AdLer books
Text by James danziger.
In 1955, peter mangone was 14 years old—a skinny boy from the Bronx with
a marilyn monroe fixation, like so many teenagers of his generation. What
distinguished mangone was that he got to meet his idol. For several months,
he had played truant from school to stake out the gladstone Hotel on
manhattan’s east 52nd Street, where the 29-year-old monroe was staying
after her unhappy divorce from Joe Dimaggio and her dismissal from
the twentieth-Century Fox studios. one morning, mangone borrowed
an eight-millimeter Kodak camera from his brother, headed down to the
gladstone and met monroe as she was on her way out shopping with her
friend milton greene. mangone’s dream came true: she waved, winked
and invited him along. over the course of the afternoon, he filmed her
intermittently, without sound, later developing the film and viewing it at
home. When mangone left home, the footage went missing, and was thought
to be lost—until 2002, when his brother found it among their father’s
possessions, virtually in mint condition. “It was like refinding my high
school sweetheart,” he said. “She was just the way I remembered her.” this
book of stills from mangone’s five-minute movie shows the great screen
siren in wonderful moments of unguardedness, against the Chevys and
Checker cabs of 1950s midtown manhattan. the great charm of mangone’s
images lies at the opposite end of familiar portraits by Cecil Beaton,
elliott erwitt and co.: in his 14-year-old hands, through the grainy Kodak
film, with its erratic lighting, marilyn remains every inch the icon.
