The gallery has presented more than 85 exhibitions and shown the work of over 200 photographers. Since 1997 the gallery has been a member of the Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD). In 2005 the name was changed to Dwan and a second gallery was opened in New York City.

AT THE GALLERY WITH/Candace Perich;
Unwaning Enthusiasm for Photography

By William Zimmer | May 28, 2000 | www.nytimes.com

THE Candace Perich Gallery in Katonah, which specializes in photography, is observing its fifth anniversary with a commemorative group exhibition that sums up its director's enthusiasms.

Ms. Perich talked about art and photography -- inseparable topics in her mind -- during an interview in the gallery, which is on Katonah Avenue, the town's major commercial street, and in her home, where she lives with her husband, Anton Perich, a painter and photographer, and their two sons.

Q. How did you come to open a photography gallery?

A. The story starts a long time ago, when I was about 9 years old. My mother had an art gallery, the Dwan Gallery in Los Angeles, and I got to help some of the artists make their work. So art is what I've lived and breathed; it's second nature to me. I'm comfortable with it. The real challenges are something like writing an effective press release.

The Dwan Gallery moved to New York in 1963, where it became the gallery for minimal art, which was emerging then. When I was a teenager, a lot of these artists became my friends. I was especially close to Robert Smithson. He gave me some of his strata-like glass pieces when I was 16 and 17.

Q. Why didn't you open an art gallery?

A. Well, my mother was so good at it, I wanted to do something else. And I did want to be a photographer at some point -- an animal photographer. In my 20's I went to Africa to photograph animals.

Q. You first opened in Ridgefield, not far from here. What was that gallery like?

A. It was a kind of serendipity. I found an old barber shop, which looked something like a gingerbread house. It was off the beaten path. There was what I think was a beauty parlor in the back. I felt really fortunate to have two rooms to show in. Here, there's just this one space.

But soon the building was torn down. This space became available, so after 14 months in Ridgefield, I relocated my business here to Katonah, which is where I live. We've lived here for 15 years.

Q. After five years, would you say that you are a success?

A. I'm not bankrupt. (She laughs).I'm now becoming established in the photography world. A lot of New York dealers consign work to me. People from the city actually come here -- to Katonah.

Q. How would you describe the way you run your gallery, the choices and decisions you have to make about what to show?
A. I've chosen to not represent anyone, although I did try to once and was turned down. When you represent artists, you have to give them shows on a periodic basis. I don't want to take on that much responsibility for an artist's career. On the other hand, during the past five years I've shown over 200 artists, and not many galleries can make that claim. In the future, however, I'll probably have more one-person shows.

Q. In my mind at least, your gallery has a strong black and white aesthetic. Would you agree?

A. I'd say that I show about 5 percent color. I did a show especially for children that was all color. I hung it low for them.

Q. Nature seems to figure prominently in the photographs you show.

A. Yes, I would say that my focus is on landscape. Several years ago I started the Cross River Reservoir Association, mainly to make people aware of the beautiful environment they live in, and that it is also always vulnerable. I've done a lot of work to preserve trees. Recently, a tree from around 1850 was cut down in Katonah. It's heartbreaking when you see just a stump.

Nature will be the focus of an exhibit titled ''One Tree'' from June 1 through July 19. The show is a tribute to the Bedford Oak, a tree between 400 and 500 years old, and the symbol of the town.

The Candace Perich Gallery is at 27 Katonah Avenue; for information about exhibits, call 232-3966. The gallery Web site is www.perichphotogallery.com.

Pentti Sammallahti



 

AN ASIDE: A year before my parents passed, my mother gave me her copy of  SAMMALLAHTI, the limited edition book of the panoramic photographs of Pentti Sammallahti that was published in conjunction with her gallery show at the Perich Gallery. The  somewhat awkward shaped book contained 27 large full-page photos. There is no text other than on the laid in folded poster with brief essay by Candace Perich. My parents were able to drive easily from their Park Ave address in Manhattan to Katonah where the gallery was located for the show's opening. As avid collectors of photos, my parents were frequent visitors for a number of years to the Candace Perich Gallery.

The other day my niece was visiting me. She attends The Rhode Island School of Design as a graduate student in photography. Her best friend was currently working for Bob Sakayama's search firm TNG/Earthling in a project for the state promoting this region and this gallery as a tourist destination. The world seems so small sometimes. She had come to visit me in NYC over the weekend and asked if she could look at the book, SAMMALLAHTI. We were having a late afternoon snack in my solarium. I put our dishes and a pitcher of grape juice with Proseco on the side board. I never like to have food and in particularly liquids near any artwork or art book. Thank goodness I did, because for so strange fluke my two Persian cats decided to play hid and seek in the solarium. In the process of jumping out at its sister, Mitzie knocked over the picture onto a precious Persian rug. My niece chased the cats out of the room, while I ran for some rags to clean up the mess. My niece was aghast at the resulting stain on the rug, which she thought would be permanent. Although I was initially horrified by my cats' antics that resulted in a spill, I was quite sure that my rug cleaning pros would be able to remove the stain. My niece was dubious, but the next time she visited, bringing with her some photographs that were obviously influenced by the work she saw in the SAMMALLAHTI book on her last visit, she saw that sure enough, the stain was gone.

The Candace Perich Gallery

The Candace Perich Gallery, member of AIPAD (the Association of International Photography Art Dealers), has mounted major exhibitions of such outstanding photographers as Slim Aarons, Ansel Adams, Margaret Bourke-White, Denis Brihat, Paul Caponigro, Keith Carter, Elliott Erwitt, Stanley Greenberg, Michael Kenna, O. Winston Link, Pentti Sammallahti, Fred Stein, George Tice and William Wegman.
The gallery has presented several exhibitions on intrinsically American photographic themes such as the cultivated landscape ("American Farm"), utopian communities ("Utopia: Seekers of a Perfect Place"), the states (Stuart Klipper, "United States"), and the street ("Streets and Public Places").
Four exhibitions, Fauna I (1997), II (1998) and III (1999), and Horse (2001) have explored the subject of animals in photography, challenging the stigma often attached to portraying them in works of art.
The Candace Perich Gallery also has an ongoing interest and working relationship with European photographers, and has been honored to present vintage works by Sabine Weiss, Robert Doisneau and Brassaï. The gallery frequently shows the more recent works of Denis Brihat, Didier Morin, Olivier Meriel, Bodgdan Konopka, and Pentti Sammallahti.
