Thinking of Richard Misrach’s new digital “negative” photographs at Pace (which differ from the serine but critical view of Americana) , what criteria do we apply when an artist comes up with a new body of work that is vastly different for what they’re known for–my temptation is be critical but should we just judge them on their own merits? There are two photographs that I love at the show because they look beyond photographic; the others seem negative-ized.
