Whether it is his spellbinding portraits of Native Americans or his imaginative architectural images, Gary Auerbach�s photographs transport one to another era.

In the �Night for Day� series, Auerbach photographs at night with an 8x10 view camera and prints his images in photogravure. The gravure process gives Auerbach a way to put the touch of his hand in the intaglio wiping of each print. Using the negative of a night image, he creates a result that has an impressionistic quality, somewhere between the setting of night and the dawn of day. Auerbach�s work was most recently included at the Musee Jenisch near Geneva, in a survey exhibition of prints representing etchings, engravings, gravures and photogravures from the 1400�s to the contemporary. Notable artists in the exhibition included Goya, Degas, Rembrandt and Strand. Fifteen numbered portfolios, as well as individually signed and numbered gravures from �Night for Day� and an alternate series, �We Walk in Beauty�, will be available. Auerbach lives and works in Tucson, Arizona.
