49 Geary Street is a great place to see art, especially photography. Unfortunately with the high rents it's becoming more and more difficult for the galleries to stay in that wonderful building in that great location.
I usually start on the fifth floor and work my way down. Make sure to see Robert Adams' show at Fraenkel on the fourth floor. Very impressive. Fraenkel is really more like a museum, impeccably curated and selected. Also, see the show at Corden|Potts on the fourth floor. Featured are David Pace's images "Market Day." Absolutely wonderful. I had the pleasure to briefly meet David at my opening reception at Corden|Potts back in February and then had a better chance to connect at Fotofest in Houston in April.
His photographs from Burkina Faso emit so much life, color, vibrancy and joy. David has been spending up to 10 weeks a year since 2007 in this small West African country. He has been very successful with several solo shows such as Blue Sky in Portland, the Griffin Museum of Photographs or 511 Gallery in New York. And he just returned from an invitation to give a talk at the George Eastman House in Rochester New York. Congratulations David.
