Douglas Kent Hall Show at Albuquerque Photographers’ Gallery November 4, 2011

The Albuquerque Photographers’ Gallery is pleased to host a very special showing of the work of the late photographer, Douglas Kent Hall (1938–2008). “Precious Metal: Rare Platinum-Palladium and selected Silver Prints” will be on display from November 2nd to December 5th, with a reception on Friday, November 4th, 6:00-9:00 PM.

In the 1990’s, Douglas Kent Hall produced a small series of platinum-palladium prints. He chose some of his most evocative images of the American West to reproduce with this special process. Hall’s platinum-palladium prints display an astonishing amount of warmth and depth, including a purity of black tones seldom seen in these types of prints. During this special show, the Albuquerque Photographers’ Gallery will display a selection of the few remaining platinum-palladium prints made by Hall. Individual images were only printed in multiples of two or three, and the last time they were available to collectors was over a decade ago at the Platinum Plus gallery in New York City.
