Gold Standards: The Art of the Orotone

Chelsea

"Gold Standards" showcases orotones, a nearly forgotten art form where photographs are printed on glass backed with gold leaf, creating ethereal glowing images. The exhibition traces this luminous technique through works by Alfred Stieglitz and David Vestal, revealing how two photographers across generations captured light itself.
