Timothy Greenfield-Sanders at Mary Boone
By Edward Leffingwell

What I like about Timothy Greenfield-Sanders' photographs is that they do two things at once. They present one as one wants to be presented, but they also show what it is about oneself that one's friends secretly find ludicrous. That is what one wants from portraits. All the best portraiture captures what it is about the subject that he or she knows to be absurd but expects the world to tolerate, or doesn't care if it doesn't.
