Mit typischen Nahaufnahmen bunter Spielzeugfiguren. – „A contemporary American photographer whose curious eye instigates childhood memories as well as nightmarish dreams, has left a legacy that is sure to accommodate and captivate both child and adult alike. Larry began his adventure in Newark, New Jersey, photographing the strange, but mundane. His early series included dirt, dead weeds, traffic signs, faceless subjects and anything else that intrigued him. This fascination later lead to a degree in Fine Arts from NYU in 1979. His first one man show was at the Newark Museum where he occupied an entire floor with prints devoted to the history and preservation of the cherry blossom in all its glory. His later escapades were commandeered by inexpensive, childhood toys, many of which were obtained from gumball machines and 5 & 10 stores. His lens was hijacked by tiny focal points on these miniature toys, many of which are no larger than one inch. The magnification of tiny points stimulates the mind to reconsider the simplest of perceptions. During his lifetime, Larry had the distinction of showcasing his works in several galleries in New York, including the Ricco/Maresca Gallery, Hasted Hunt Gallery, Monique Knowlton Gallery, O.K. Harris, the Paul Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Re Gallery in Paris, France, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in California, the Kathleen Ewing Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Children’s Specialized Hospital in Mountainside, New Jersey, the Jersey City Museum, the SoHo Photo Foundation… His works can also be found on the cover of the Village Voice, Photo Metro, as well as being displayed in The New Yorker magazine on several occasions, Elle Decoration, Popular Photography, Chateaux and several books including A Thousand Hounds“ (larrygianettino-about the artist). – Schutzumschlag mit geringf.
