The Elaine L. Jacob Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition Susan Unterberg: A Retrospective, on display from November 11- December 16, 2005.

New York artist Susan Unterberg creates photographs that correspond to the rhythms of life, discovery and change. From the early charged portraits of mothers and daughters to the playful and painterly exploration of horse and fish, this exhibition follows Unterberg\'s closely intertwined personal journey and artistic production. While Unterberg typically organizes her work according to discrete photographic series, this exhibition combines selections from over twenty years of such projects and unites them for the first time in one exhibition. This retrospective approach enables the audience to trace Unterberg\'s formal development over ten principal series and to study the multivalent and interwoven themes that recur throughout her work.

Susan Unterberg has exhibited extensively throughout the world, most notably at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the International Center of Photography, The Jewish Museum, New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We are very excited to now have Unterberg\'s work her in Detroit at Wayne State University. There will be an opening reception taking place on Friday, November 11 from 5-8pm in the gallery, which is free and open to the public.

The Elaine L. Jacob Gallery wishes to extend its sincere gratitude to the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, Ohio and to the artist, both of whom made this exhibition possible.

This exhibition was curated by Andrée Bober.
