Baechler’s Crowd Paintings are a series of primarily black and white, large-format canvases covered with the diverse faces that make up big city crowds. These faces contrast one another in tone, as some are treated as cartoons while others are rendered more seriously. To complement these paintings, poet David Greenberg has written a series of poems entitled, “ œA Face in the Crowd“ , a collection of poems focusing on varied lifestyles in New York City. Both artist and poet live in New York City where they have collaborated for many years.

American photographer Lewis Baltz showing work from 1967 to the present (1995). The work is mostly black and white, and the body of 30 years work shown here are all photographs of exterior urban or semi-built environments in various states of decay. The sense of the cultural fatigue of the Western world is acute, and the work speaks quietly of dissolution rather than progress. Contains articles by Morten Salling and Denis Baudier.
