Jay Maisel 60-Year Retrospective at Month of Photography Los Angeles
Exhibit will feature more than 30 photos by Jay Maisel printed by Blazing Editions on ChromaLuxe metal prints.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Blazing Editions and ChromaLuxe announced today they will sponsor a 60-year retrospective of the work of legendary photographer Jay Maisel. The exhibition will run Jan. 28 – 31 at Space15Twenty in Los Angeles. All images for the show were printed on ChromaLuxe metal prints by fine art printing company Blazing Editions.
The show is an official exhibition of Month of Photography Los Angeles, and attendance is free and open to the public. This exhibition travels to Los Angeles after a successful 2016 showing in New York City. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, Jan. 28 from 6 pm – 9 pm. Jay Maisel will be in attendance and will provide remarks at 7 pm. Request an invitation by visiting: www.blazing.com/jay-maisel.html.
"ChromaLuxe is humbled to host this event in honor of Jay Maisel. His use of light and color along with the vibrancy and detail of ChromaLuxe metal prints provide an image of unmatched quality," said Paul Neumann, CEO of ChromaLuxe parent company, Universal Woods Inc. "The durability and archivability of ChromaLuxe metal prints will ensure that Jay's work will be enjoyed for generations to come."
After studying painting and graphic design at Cooper Union and Yale, Maisel began his career in photography in 1954. While his portfolio includes the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Miles Davis, he is perhaps best known for capturing the light, gesture, and color found in everyday life. This unique vision kept him busy for more than 40 years shooting annual reports, magazine covers, jazz albums, advertising and more for an array of clients worldwide.
"As a long-time friend and collaborator with Jay, I knew this would be a great opportunity to showcase his work on the West Coast during Month of Photography Los Angeles," said Alan Blazer, CEO, Blazing Editions. "We are proud of the work we have provided to Jay over the years, and it is a privilege to share these works with a wide audience."
Some of Maisel's commercial accomplishments include five Sports Illustrated swimsuit covers, the first two covers of New York Magazine, the cover of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue (the best-selling jazz album of all time), twelve years of advertising with United Technologies, and a litany of awards from such organizations as International Center of Photography, American Society of Media Photographers, Art Directors Club (ADC), Professional Photographers of America, and Cooper Union.
