LEE FRIEDLANDER

Lee Friedlander is celebrated for his ability to weave disparate elements from ordinary life into uncanny images of great formal com plexity and visual wit. And few things have attracted his attention?or been more unpredictable in their effect?than the humble chain link fence.Erected to delineate space, form protective barriers and bring order to chaos, the fences in Friedlanders pictures catc h filaments of light, throw disconcerting shadows and visually interrupt scenes without fully occluding them.
