This month's featured artist is Alex MacLean, an architecturally trained pilot and photographer, has seen most of the United States from the air. His studio is in Cambridge and he lives in nearby Lincoln, Massachusetts.
Andreas Gursky's 99 Cent II (both panels), 2007.
The scale of MacLean's pieces remind me of another photographer, Andreas Gursky. Gursky, represented by the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York, is known for taking the highest priced photograph in history, 99 Cent II (a diptych) which sold for $3.34 million USD in February of 2007. A month later, Gursky was featured in an article in New York Magazine by Jerry Saltz.
