A.M. Richard Fine Art presents Polaroid: Instant Joy!, a group exhibition of photography curated by Andrew Garn.

Lately, a resurgence of young photographers have been revisiting the wonders and quirkiness of Polaroid film. Using expired Spectra film, and a new film manufactured in a former bankrupt Polaroid plant in Belgium; this generation has created a novel vernacular language in instant photography. Blog sites of Polaroid art permeate the internet. With a new generation of advocates, the continuation of Polaroid art seems assured.

The artists selected include: Lynka Adams, Michael Anton, Jimmy Baynes, Todd Boebel, Ellen Carey, Brendan Carroll, Chuck Close, William Coupon, Melanie Einzig, Andrew Garn, Stan Gregory, Jack Johnston, Till Krautkraemer, Eric Kroll, Richard McCabe, Barbara Mensch, Ber Murphy, Nagatani/ Tracey, Bill Ray, David Stock, Molly Surno, Jennifer Trausch, Robert Vizzini, Robert Warhover and William Wegman.

Special thanks to Chuck Close, William Wegman, Ellen Carey, Luc Sante, Jennifer Trausch, Rachel Weingeist, Jayne Baum, and Bill and Marlys Ray.

Andrew Garn is a photographer and curator who lives in New York City. His work will be featured in the first Ural Industrial Biennale at the National Center for Contemporary Art in Ekaterinburg, Russia this fall.
