Irving Penn's 'Cosmic Underfoot' Showcased at the Art Institute of ChicagoJanuary 29, 2013One of the world's preeminent photographers, Irving Penn (1917-2009) is famous for portraiture, still lifes, and fashion. However, the path that led Penn to the seemingly galactic abstractions of his late series titled Underfoot lay just outside his studio door. Irving Penn: Underfoot , on view at the Art Institute of Chicago through April 28, 2013 in the Modern Wing's Carolyn S. and Matthew Bucksbaum Gallery (Gallery 188), features 36 exquisite gelatin silver prints presented as a complete series to the public for the first time. The series, created mostly in 2000-2001, shows the grit of Manhattan pavement transformed with Penn's characteristic precision into a world of odd beauty. The works presented in the exhibition, once described to the artist by former Art Institute director James Wood as 'the cosmos underfoot,' is accompanied by a demonstration of Penn's painstaking photographic process.
