New York : Meryl Meisler – The Eye of Photography

Link:

Steven Kasher Gallery has inaugurated last week its new solo exhibition devoted to Meryl Meisler’s earliest work. The exhibition includes over 35 black and white prints. The photographs capture the drama and exuberance of the 1970s, when pop-psychology encouraged everyone from suburban Long Island housewives to drag queens and disco queens to self-actualize and act out. The photographs drift between the kitsch-filled rooms of Meisler’s hometown in Long Island to the gritty clubs and streets of disco-era New York.
