November 18 - January 13, 2024
From Barry Whistler Gallery:
“Barry Whistler Gallery is pleased to present Ann Stautberg’s latest work in a solo exhibition opening Saturday,
November 18th running through January 13th, 2024.
Statutberg appropriately titled her show “Interlude” making reference to the change in her life with the passing
this year of Frank X. Tolbert II, her husband and partner in life for 47 years. Stautberg bravely looked within and
found strength in her work via the foliage and plants at her home and studio, and garden. The exhibition is
comprised of six works of hand painted oil on archival printed canvas.
Ann Stautberg studied painting and printmaking, adapting these tools to her photographs using photographic
oils to hand color black and white photographs on paper. Today, Stautberg primarily uses a large format
Japanese Mamiya camera for her latest images. Her earlier works were made with an old German Rolleiflex.
“I’m really pleased to be working on canvas again and that had to do with lack of materials in the digital age.
They stopped making so many of the beautiful silver papers in the large scale, and it took me a long time to
figure out I could be doing what I love to do on canvas. I now have the negative scanned, then printed on canvas,
then I work on it on a hard surface and then it is stretched.” *
