ALEX WEBB, Boquillas, Mexico, 1979

Gallery artist, Alex Webb, is currently working on his forthcoming book, “La Calle.” This new monograph will feature works that were taken in Mexico, from 1975 to 2007, and will be published this fall by Aperture. Recently, legendary Hollywood director of photography, Roger Deakins (Coen Brothers, Sam Mendes, Denis Villeneuve,) sited Webb’s photography as being influential on his own work for the movie, Sicario, which takes place along the Mexican border.

“It was really Arbus who got me started taking pictures. My dad was an amateur photographer and someone gave him the Aperture monograph when it was first published. I remember it freaked him out and he put it way up on the top shelf of the bookcase. And I still remember the physical act of me scrambling up there to retrieve the book, sensing it was something I really needed to see. It was a life changing moment.”

“The Natura Morta images I have made in response to the Old Masters are intensely personal interpretations of timeless, universal stories. Years from now, I hope that the photographs I create will affect someone as deeply as the Old Masters' paintings have affected me.”

TIME's Lightbox named 2012 Guggenheim Fellow, Bill Jacobson's "Place (Series)" one of the best photobooks of 2015. Author and photography critic Philip Gefter writes: "They are photographs of a conceptual nature, all referring to a kind of Minimalist aesthetic, a frame within a frame, addressing the photographic plane on a truly perceptual level."

A retrospective of Jacobson’s work will run throughout the months of March and April at Robert Klein Gallery, and its South End satellite space, Robert Klein Gallery @ Ars Libri Ltd.

“Dashti, an Iranian artist, stages scenes that blend humble detail with mythic implication. She grew up during the Iran-Iraq War; it prompted her family to move from southern Iran to the far north. Displacement was rampant. Her photos depict enigmatic tales rooted in her own experience.”

- Cate McQuaid, “Images from Iran filled with mystery, drama,” The Boston Globe, January 13, 2016
