The work of Malibu photographer Dr. Richard Ehrlich, who is also an adult and pediatric urologist at UCLA, will be featured in the exhibition, “The Presence of Absence: The Photographs of Richard Ehrlich,” from Sept. 19 to Nov. 22 at the LaBand Art Gallery at Loyola Marymount University.
The exhibition will include selected images from five of Ehrlich’s series: abandoned diamond mines in Namibia; graffiti from the now-demolished Belmont Park, Los Angeles; a deserted, decaying Cook County Hospital in Chicago; a defunct sugar mill in Maui and German archival documents that echo the individual lives consumed by the Holocaust.
Ehrlich’s work has been shown in galleries nationwide and at museums including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., among others.
