'The Lower Depths' by Maxim Gorky is a powerful classical Russian play about a group of hilarious, downtrodden lodgers in a boarding house. Their lives consist of staving away hunger and poverty mixed with idle entertainment until a pilgrim, Luka, arrives on the scene. Luka brings with him tales of the world abroad as well as a seemingly bottomless supply of hope and dreams. He inspires the residents of the boarding house to reach and try to pick themselves up from the dregs of society, while teaching love and respect and responsibility. However, charged with the fire Luka kindles in them, the muck at The Lower Depths begins to stir, and the result is not as positive as Luka had hoped.

Dominique Lévy is pleased to announce the second exhibition at her gallery's new home at 909 Madison Avenue. Opening to the public today, November 23, 2013, Boris Mikhailov: Four Decades will explore the full career of one of the leading photographers from the former Soviet Union.

Dominique Lévy has announced the second exhibition at her gallery's new home at 909 Madison Avenue. Opening to the public on November 23, 2013, Boris Mikhailov: Four Decades will explore the full career of one of the leading photographers from the former Soviet Union. For over 30 years, Ukranian-born Mikhailov has investigated the fate of the individual within the framework of history, making life-size color photographs that reveal the ever-widening gulf between public ideology and private existence in post-communist Eastern Europe. Deeply rooted in the tradition of social study and commentary, Mikhailov's work locates its power in deep engagement with its subjects. His works are portraits that draw the viewer into a world of humor, lust, vulnerability, survival, aging, and death -- a realm that is foreign and specific, but somehow disturbingly close.
