The evanescent beauty of Deborah Turbeville’s photographs have a far greater emotional impact when viewed in person rather than on a printed page. Familiar to fans since the 1970s, Turbeville has worked extensively with Vogue and publishing houses such as Doubleday, Harry N. Abrams and Rizzoli.

Ralph Pucci International recently unveiled Turbeville’s Silent Film display at its penthouse gallery in Manhattan’s Flatiron District. Curated by Ken Smart, this unique series includes one-of-a-kind collages created especially for this exhibit. Incorporating imagery from the artist’s work in the 1980s, the photographs feature vintage interiors, forests of fallen leaves, and ethereal statues. From the Petit Trianon to Versailles, in one glance, Turbeville succeeds in capturing history and the poignancy of time.

Silent Film exhibits until January 31, 2010 at Ralph Pucci International, 44 West 18 Street, New York 10011; T: (+1) 212 633 0452.
