Event Spotlight: Scott Frances' MonoVisioN Exhibit at the DDB

The DDB is teeming with art this Summer, and now, after doing time at the Pacific Design Center, photographer Scott Frances' exhibition will open in New York City on June 21. MonoVisioN will feature 68 large-scale works on view in Suite 110 on the ground floor of the Annex Building at the DDB.


In conjunction with the exhibition, visitors may enter a special raffle for the chance to win one of three signed limited-edition print by Frances.




Frances is renowned for his architecture and lifestyle photography. His images reflect the synthesis of his interests in carefully balanced composition, using atmospheric and naturally motivated light. With a journalist’s need to tell a story simply, along with his passion for the decorative arts, his imagery bridges recurring themes throughout art history.


The exhibition coincides with the release of Frances’ first monograph of the same title with an introduction by Richard Meier, published by Pond Press. In the preface to MonoVisioN, Meier states: “A Scott Frances photograph captures all these ephemeral elements that I have always explored in my architectural work. The images in this book portray the qualities that give every space and building a sense of place, and the constant dialogue between the man-made and the natural. MonoVisioN becomes an exploration of solid and void, transparency and opaqueness, the rational and the intuitive, and an essay on composition.”




Frances’ exhibition begins a main feature of this year’s summer programming at the D&D Building. MonoVisioN will tour to the other Cohen Design Centers in South Florida and Houston following the show in New York.
