Olaf Otto Becker: Disappearing beauty at Stephen Cohen Gallery

Impending global disaster is a beautiful thing in Olaf Otto Becker'snew solo show at L.A.'s Stephen Cohen Gallery.

The German photographer, known for his Romantic renderings of northern European landscapes, sailed around Greenland snapping shots of the awesomely deteriorating environment, such as "Talerua Bay, 07/2005 70° 31'08" N, 51°38'39" W," pictured. "There are two ways to photograph things. One way is to show all the ugliness," Becker says. "I want to show the positive, and you can think if you want to do something to keep it."
