I recently discovered Ralph Gibson (where have I been?!). He was born in 1939 in LA and is internationally famous. A retrospective of his work entitled "Secret of Light" was published in June 2023. The blurb on Amazon's site states: "A comprehensive survey of the work of famous American photo artist Ralph Gibson, including previously unseen photographs. Ralph Gibson (b. 1939) is one of the most interesting and versatile photographers of our time. His great international reputation is based on his exceptional work, which is exhibited and collected by leading museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris and the Fotomuseum Winterthur in Switzerland. The publication accompanying the exhibition Ralph Gibson. Secret of Light brings together key series from the F. C. Gundlach Collection, Hamburg, as well as the photographer’s collection and describes his artistic development from the 1960s to the present. Gibson tirelessly explores and breaks new ground in photography. The playful use and design with light are an essential part of his unmistakable signature, which is reflected in his multi-layered and complex oeuvre." I love this book and I highly recommend it.
