The art practice of Arnaud Maggs (1926-2012) was dedicated to exploring “Systems of Identification”. Browse all works by this artist and read our artist profile.
Bertrand R. Pitt on his series, Echo: “Acoustic waveforms evoking the contours of an island, a shore, the edge of a forest or a city are superimposed on different minimalist landscapes. The wave embedded in the landscape comes from the recording of a speech or musical excerpt considered collectively or personally striking. Metaphorically one can say of the echo that it extends, returns, reverberates, repeats, responds, resounds, recalls, traces or marks. Thus, I select different recordings of speeches or musical works whose scope and relevance still find some resonance today.” Browse all works by this artist.

Due to length constraints, we could include only so many of our FFOTO Exclusive Artists in this newsletter. Check out offerings from Wayne Dunkley (interview), Denis Farley (interview), Kacey Jeffers (interview), The Lawrence Schiller Collection, Christina Leslie, Chris Thomaidis (interview), and Christopher Wahl.
For the rest of December, be sure to follow our Instagram Stories, where we’ll post highlights from across our inventory - you may see something irresistible.
Before disappearing into the cozy glow of a winter break, I’ll leave you with this slightly terrifying yet oddly entertaining blast from the past: The Jingle Cats “singing” Silent Night. Happy Holidays and all best wishes for the New Year from the FFOTO team.
