Kasmin is delighted to return to ADAA: The Art Show with a solo presentation of work by influential American photographer Tina Barney. Featuring rarely- and never-before-exhibited works, the presentation explores the theme of family as a throughline that runs across five decades of the artist’s career and coincides with Tina Barney: Family Ties, her forthcoming retrospective at the Jeu de Paume in Paris. 

As Barney investigates intergenerational familial rituals, her large-format work magnifies the brilliant colors and vibrant textures of her subjects and their surroundings. From the very beginning of her practice in the late 1970s to her most recent work for premiere fashion campaigns, family has offered Barney a framework to probe the cultural habits that are passed down by generations. First illuminating the inner lives of her own relatives and close friends and later photographing families whom she met for the first time, Barney creates intricate tableaux that call attention to the subtle nuances of her subjects’ interactions. Whether posed or carefully staged, Barney’s works reveal unexpected connections between her subjects, which become especially apparent in their domestic settings.
