Note:

Since the creation of the CONTACT Photography Festival in 1997, this community-based event helps to support and unite artists from Canada and around the world. The proceeds from the sale of the works consigned to Waddington’s by the CONTACT Photography Festival help to expand viewership for the best examples of photography on the market today, and further the creative possibilities of the medium in the past, present, and future.

Lynne Cohen’s “Untitled (Planters),” 2007, features an empty lobby, populated only by three potted plants. As with most of Cohen’s work, the viewer is asked to project themselves into this strange space. During the bulk of her career, Cohen focused on black and white photography. “Untitled (Planters),” made in 2007 and printed in 2012, is one of the first images made in colour.
