Lee Friedlander's restless eye is nowhere in stronger evidence than in his photographs of cars in the American scene. Highlighted here are unique prints from a recently rediscovered project of late 1963. Asked by Harper's Bazaar to produce a pictorial feature on the next year's models from Detroit, Friedlander set his shiny subjects in vigorously unglamorous places: gas stations, parking lots, and even used car lots. The magazine opted not to publish these puzzle-portraits of a Pop Art landscape; they are exhibited for the first time here, on loan from the collection of Randi and Bob Fisher.
