Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Provenance:
Private Collection, Toronto
Barbara Edwards Contemporary, Toronto
Notes:
Appropriating elements of late 19th and early 20th century cabinet cards, a style of photography used for portraiture which was most popular in the 1880s, Gartner mixes photographic history and records with her own imagined fantasies to create eerie representations of an other-worldly environment. Gartner says this is the process of recalling “fictional memories” of the viewer. Her subjects often hold a direct and confrontational stare resulting in them being haunting yet intriguing.
Gartner currently lives and works both in Canada and Europe.
