Clic Bookstore & Gallery - New York, St. Barth

ABOUT

Clic Bookstore & Gallery is a welcoming, light-filled space devoted to the art of photography. Springing from a love of design, art and books, Clic features monthly shows by emerging photographers and stocks a curated selection of high-quality photography books. Since first opening in St. Barth in 2008, Clic has expanded to another location in East Hampton, and two galleries in New York City.

In addition to classics from icons Helmut Newton, Mary Ellen Mark, Nan Goldin, Richard Avedon, and Robert Mapplethorpe, Clic is proud to carry a number of hard-to-find volumes, limited editions from small presses, and signed copies for sale. Clic regularly holds booksignings from modern legends such as Patrick Demarchelier and Elliot Erwitt.

Clic shows have included:

- Lyle Owerko’s black and white portraits of the nomads of Northern Kenya, THE SAMBURU.

Winner, Best Photojournalism 2008, National Press Photographers Association Winner, Hasseblad Masters 2009

Owerko will be the subject of another show at Clic in October 2010, entitled The Boombox Project.

- Magda Biernat's CONTINENTAL BOUNCE, photographs of the built environment in 17 countries on three contients.

-The New York Times

"Surreal, contemplative color photographs of futuristic architectural structures all over the world offer a veritable feast of super saturated colors and a fascinating reflection on function and form. ”
-New York Magazine.

- Christopher Payne's ASYLUM, documenting abandoned mental institutions across the United States

“What distinguishes Mr. Payne’s work is not only his knowing documentation of architectural features but his eye for the telling human detail."
-The New York Times

"Unexpectedly humanizing...Arrestingly beautiful.”
-The Atlantic Monthly
