Intimations

Intimation is defined as an indirect, usually subtle suggestion, indication, or hint. This book is a historical collection of the WSW co-founder Kellner’s early photographic work. Divided into sections that highlight different topics and locations, both mundane and exotic including: Collected Visions, Brighton Beach, James Street and Other Places. It also includes what is now an early biography of the artist allowing us reflection on the past four + decades of her work.

The book ends with an essay, Reflections on Intimations by Eve Leoff, Ph.D, from June 1981, where she states, “Kellner cannot end her volume with the benign and the serene, she must conclude with the stimulating images that suggest our only resolution: Let art make of us what it will, display us as mask or sphinx…Hence the final photographs show her resolution: a playfulness that lifts heads of bodies, rolls them in sand, plasters them on walls, displays, solarizes, anything rather than nothing, inventing, over and over, on our life.”
