Frieze New York

We are excited to announce our participation in the 2024 edition of Frieze New York (May 1-5, 2024) with a presentation of historic photographs by Stanley Stellar for the first time produced in color.

Titled “The Piers: In Color,” Kapp Kapp will present Stellar’s Kodachrome vision of New York City’s west side piers of the late 70s through 80s, a pre-AIDS paradise mostly remembered in black and white. Stellar’s color photographs recall a vibrancy and texture often omitted from visual history.
