Working closely with the photographer he developed the lush quality of Mapplethorpe's definitive works Although primarily known as a printer, Baril was quietly making his own pictures. Avoiding the studio, to distance himself from Mapplethorpe's work, he focused on the urban landscpape and architecture. Finally moving into the studio with a pinhole camera he began to photgraph flowers and make still life photographs of curious objects. Today he continues in the studio making meticulous botanical studies and is also producing unique nature photographs with the pinhole camera. His work is in numerous public and private collections including The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, The Brooklyn Museum New York, The Fogg Museum, Harvard University, and The Center for Creative Photography, Tucson. He has had solo exhibitions in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, and New York. Date: Thu, 11 Sep 1997 17:34:05 -0400 From: Jeff Keibel Subject: Sometimes it rains fish...

TOM BARIL - Photography (regular edition) After looking for this book in a few of the best (art)book stores in Amsterdam and Rotterdam (Who? Barrel? How do you spell that?) I asked myself "Why didn't I order one at our '4AD-L art book supplier*' in the first place?". So last week I did and today I received a copy. Beautiful! -> Tom Barils work (!), book design, typography, printing, paper and production. If you don't have this book yet, and you've got some $ left: buy it (or ask mr. Claus) cause it's one of the best things 4AD has released/published this year. * http://www.artbooks.de/4AD Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 18:42:18 -0500 From: Jeff Keibel Subject: Tom Baril Books in the UK!
