FINE ARTS MUSEUMS OF SAN FRANCISCO

Real to Real

Photographs from the Traina Collection

Introduction and foreword by Julian Cox. Text by Kevin Moore.

Real to RealDrawing upon the dynamic and sophisticated photography collection of San Francisco native Trevor Traina, Real to Real juxtaposes rare black-and-white vintage prints by Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Diane Arbus and Garry Winogrand with luscious eye-popping color photographs by William Eggleston, Andreas Gursky and Stephen Shore. Celebrating photography’s fundamental fluidity and diversity through roughly 100 works, authors Kevin Moore (who served as an adviser to Trevor Traina in shaping his collection) and Julian Cox (founding curator of photography and chief curator at the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco) explore the collection’s range from early documentary to more recent conceptual art. Real to Real examines the preoccupation with everyday “reality,” excess, spectacle, and loss in pictures by Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Roe Ethridge, Mike Kelley, Cindy Sherman, Alec Soth, Jeff Wall and many more.

FROM THE BOOK
"Photography's ever-shifting status as an art form may be full of twists and turns, but there have never been so many creative talents involved with the medium as there are today. They hail from every discipline and point of view. Photography can be used for anything, or any idea, its artists wish to represent. It is a playground for ceaseless projection and experimentation. A photograph is a slippery, ambiguous social construct, and it can convey much more than the story it may seem to tell. It can be used to illuminate and certify as well as to distort and calcify. As Kevin Moore writes, in his catalog essay, 'contemporary photographs are tricky concoctions' that defy easy classification, requiring a fluidity of attitude and a willingness to peel back the layers in order to get at their cultural and artistic meaning. The Traina collection traffics in this inbuilt ambiguity and unleashes the viewer on a visual and sensory odyssey that has no fixed result. The pleasures of looking and seeing are the connective tissue, with a dash of satisfying confusion to keep the process interesting."
