"Builder Levy's Appalachia USA (David R. Godine) does for today's coal miners what Walker Evans did for sharecroppers and tenant farmers in the Dust Bowl."

Included in Women Only through February 22, 2014, at the Flomenhaft Gallery are masterworks by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. In the article Message in Modernism from the January 12, 2014, Albuquerque Journal, Kathaleen Roberts writes:
Read the Full ArticleAppalachia USA This book is an intense artistic exploration of a significant yet little understood and often overlooked region of the United States. Intertwining the traditions of fine art, social documentary, and street photography, Appalachia USA is an aesthetically and socially important book that celebrates the human spirit; it is this spirit that shines through the coal dust in the faces of miners, in mothers struggling to protect their children, and in ravaged but resilient communities.

Artworks by Faith Ringgold were on view at the Flomenhaft Gallery for the
Women Only exhibition, January 9 - February 22, 2014. In light of the fact that Carrie Mae Weems had major exhibits at the Guggenheim Museum and also at the Studio Museum in Harlem, Flomenhaft Gallery is exceedingly proud to offer several of her photos that are no longer available except here. They are from the “Black” series (borrowed from us by the Tate Museum in England) and her “Sea Island Series.” Today, “Carrie Mae Weems is an imposing figure on the artistic landscape. Through documentary photographs, conceptual installations, and videos, she is known for raising difficult questions about the American experience. When the MacArthur Foundation awarded her a 2013 ‘genius’ grant, it cited Weems for uniting ‘critical social insight with enduring aesthetic mastery.'"

curated by Eleanor Flomenhaft in collaboration with Judith K. Brodsky and Ferris Olin of Rutgers University Institute for Women and Art, was reviewed in the January 2014 issue of ARTnews! Though you may have missed the exhibition of Neil Folberg's Serpent Chronicles
at the Rubin Museum in Tel-Aviv, you still have the chance to read a great review! Written for Asian Art News, Gil Goldfine writes how Folberg's photographs "retell the biblical epic of Adam and Eve and their short but eventful lives in the Garden of Eden" through his ability to use his lens to see through the point of view of the "malevolent snake, a reptile alluded to but never seen." Siona Benjamin received a Fulbright Fellowship in 2011. Her exhibition FACES: Weaving Indian Jewish Narratives traced "the history of India's Jewish community," as told by Reema Gehi in her article, "Hidden Community."
Neil Folberg introduced Michael Adams in his lecture titled, "Ansel Adams, A Son's Recollection." This event was held by Vision Neil Folberg Gallery & Hadassah Academic College, Jerusalem. In conjunction with the lecture, Neil and Doron Adar conducted a landscape seminar and workshop that explored Ansel Adam's vision and taught how his concepts could be used in an individual's own work.
