Judy Mauer
Judy Mauer came to photography after years of being a collaborative artist. She has worked in theater, music production, advertising and film. Her photography ranges in subject matter, from abstract to narrative.
A hundred years ago, Mauer’s grandparents emigrated from a shtetl in Eastern Europe; then eighteen years ago, she moved to a beach near Coney Island. This body of work began after Mauer moved to Seagate, Brooklyn where there was a large community of Hasidim. With the beach as her backdrop, she captures the day-to-day experience of her neighbors. Seemingly frozen in time, the people in her photographs appear to be transported from another era into her backyard. She states, “I am photographing them as a testament to all we have lost in the Holocaust, and as a celebration of our community in all its forms.”
Mauer has exhibited across the globe including, Miami, London, Malaga, Rio de Janeiro, Berlin, Sydney, and Dubai. She has participated in many notable art fairs including Art Basel and Art on Paper. Though she has been a part of many shows in New York, this will be her first solo-show in Manhattan.
