Gregory Crewdson

Luhring Augustine

The suburban settings of Crewdson’s magical realist photographs could easily be movie sets caught between takes. Stagy lighting, dramatic poses and lush but banal décors suggest lives unfolding like a series of scripted scenarios. Crewdson’s isolated characters seem invariable uncomfortable in their surroundings, yearning to move on but unsure where to go next. Closes 5/3.

Tue-Sat 10am to 6pm. 531 W 24th St, between Tenth and Eleventh Aves (C,E to 23rd St) 212-206-9100 luhringaugustine.com
