Gary Auerbach

Whether it is his spellbinding portraits of Native Americans or his imaginative architectural images, Gary Auerbach’s photographs transport one to another era.

In the ‘Night for Day’ series, Auerbach photographs at night with an 8x10 view camera and prints his images in photogravure. The gravure process gives Auerbach a way to put the touch of his hand in the intaglio wiping of each print. Using the negative of a night image, he creates a result that has an impressionistic quality, somewhere between the setting of night and the dawn of day. Auerbach’s work was most recently included at the Musee Jenisch near Geneva, in a survey exhibition of prints representing etchings, engravings, gravures and photogravures from the 1400’s to the contemporary. Notable artists in the exhibition included Goya, Degas, Rembrandt and Strand. Fifteen numbered portfolios, as well as individually signed and numbered gravures from ‘Night for Day’ and an alternate series, ‘We Walk in Beauty’, will be available. Auerbach lives and works in Tucson, Arizona.
