Tina Barney: Monograph published by Rizzoli
-
Paul Kasmin Gallery is pleased to announce the release of Tina Barney, a comprehensive monograph of the artist's three decades working in photography, published by Rizzoli USA.
Join us for a book signing with Tina Barney & Peter Galassi at 293 Tenth Avenue on October 5, 5 – 7 PM.
Internationally acclaimed American artist, Tina Barney burst on the scene in the early 1980s with her provocative yet intimate photographs capturing the domestic lives and social rituals of the elite. In choosing color over black and white and producing large-format prints, she broke the tradition of established fine-art photography at the time. Her unstintingly honest portrayal of her subjects, many of whom are family and friends, remains completely original.
Covering three decades of the artist’s provocative yet intimate large-scale color images capturing the domestic life and private moments of the American and European elite—her family and friends—this book will appeal to contemporary-art lovers, photography book collectors, and anyone with an interest in modern culture.

About the Artist
Self-portrait by Tina Barney.Tina Barney
Over the course of her 40-year career, acclaimed American photographer Tina Barney (b. 1945) has illuminated the inner lives of her subjects, observing the generational repetition of familial traditions and rituals as played out in domestic settings. Recognized for her large-format photographic portraits realized in vibrant color—and more recently, for her foray into landscape photography—Barney demonstrates the same complexity and sensitivity whether she is shooting world-renowned celebrities or the figures and faces of those known to her personally.
Barney’s photographs are in numerous public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA; and the Nicola Erni Collection, Zug, Switzerland; among many others. Barney's work was included in the 1987 Whitney Biennial and has been the subject of major recent exhibitions at the Kunsthalle Wien, Austria; the New Orleans Museum of Art, LA; the Frist Center in Nashville, TN; the Barbican Art Gallery, London, United Kingdom; and the Museum of Art, Salzburg, Austria. In September 2017, Rizzoli USA published Tina Barney, an eponymous monograph spanning her four-decade international career.Barney's third solo exhibition with Kasmin, The Beginning, opened in March 2023. Concurrent with the exhibition, a book of fifty works was published by Radius Books.

Helena Foster: Time Honoured featured in Plus Magazine
April 18, 2025Walking into Helena Foster’s “Time Honoured” at Kasmin, you’re met with a hush—a sacred quiet that wraps around each painting like breath held in contemplation. Though it marks the first solo show in New York for the London-based painter, Foster’s presence feels neither new nor foreign. Her work carries the gravity of ancestral memory, the lyricism of oral storytelling, and the immediacy of the present. Through her meticulous layering of oil on linen, paper, and vellum, she offers something rare: paintings that speak not in proclamations but in visual whispers—proverbs rendered in earth tones and radiant light. -
