We recently caught a show by renowned photographer Terry Richardson in New York’s Half Gallery. Mom & Dad featured an excerpt of select photos from his latest monograph from Morel Books (available here). As the title indicates, Richardson included photos of his late father Bob Richardson, a well-known fashion photographer and mother Annie. There were two installations to accompany the photos. First was a collection of printed photos that lined the floor of the gallery and a second was a series of archived answering machine recordings from Terry’s father played on loop for the gallery audience. Created in Richardson’s raw portraiture style, the showing was a touching look at his family roots and gave a quick glimpse into what may have shaped his unique eye and style.
