Mann, Sally | Untitled (White Columns), 1998 — available on Composition Gallery

View in a Room

// Untitled (White Columns) by Sally Mann, created in 1998, is a lithograph that captures the haunting beauty of architectural elements in a soft, ethereal manner. The composition features a row of white columns receding into the distance, partially shrouded in an almost ghostly haze that blurs the boundaries between light and shadow. The atmospheric effect, achieved through Mann’s expert manipulation of light and tonal contrast, creates a sense of mystery and timelessness, transforming the solid structure into a dreamlike vision. This limited edition piece, measuring a substantial 96.5 x 120.7 cm, embodies Mann’s fascination with the ephemeral nature of memory and the past, inviting viewers to reflect on the intersections of permanence and transience.

Sally Mann (United States, 1951) is a photographer renowned for her evocative black-and-white images that explore themes of family, mortality, and the Southern landscape. Her series 'Immediate Family' (1992) and 'What Remains' (2003) have sparked both acclaim and controversy, solidifying her influence in contemporary photography.

- Sally Mann

Sally Mann (b. 1951 USA) is an acclaimed American photographer known for her evocative and often controversial photographs that explore themes of family, memory, mortality, and the American South. Mann gained widespread recognition with her series Immediate Family (1992), which features intimate and sometimes unsettling portraits of her young children, capturing the complexities of childhood, vulnerability, and the passage of time. Her work is characterized by its use of large-format cameras, meticulous composition, and a deep connection to the Southern landscape, which often serves as both a backdrop and a subject in her photographs. Mann's later work, including series like What Remains and Deep South, delves into the themes of death, decay, and the haunted history of the South, blending personal and historical narratives. Her use of traditional photographic techniques, including wet-plate collodion, gives her images a timeless, almost ethereal quality. Mann's work has been widely exhibited and collected by major museums, and she is recognized as one of the most important photographers of her generation. (Artist website)
