Join Aperture Foundation and the Humane Society of New York for our book release party with Guest of Honor Sara Haines, cohost of The View, and her adopted pup and special Dog of Honor, Trixie, to celebrate the launch of Rescue Me (Aperture, 2016), a compelling photo album of rescue dogs looking for a forever home with photographs by Richard Phibbs.

Art and fashion photographer Phibbs volunteered his services to the Humane Society of New York, making portraits of their rescue dogs to help find them forever homes. Rescue Me features sixty-four of these portraits alongside each dog’s journey, from often-shocking circumstances of abandonment and rejection, through rescue and the joy experienced in the new homes these photographs helped them find. This heartwarming New York story will appeal to dog and animal lovers all over the world. Author royalties from the sale of Rescue Me benefit the Humane Society of New York’s Clinic and Adoption Center.

On Saturday, October 29, join Aperture for a “Dog Day Afternoon” and artist talk with Phibbs.

Richard Phibbs (born in Calgary, Alberta) has shot fashion and advertising campaigns for Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, and Calvin Klein. His editorial work has appeared in Vanity Fair, Vogue China, ESPN The Magazine, Paper magazine, Entertainment Weekly, and Condé Nast Traveler, among many others, and the best of his portraits and fashion photographs are featured in his first book, Chasing Beauty (2010). His prints have been collected by, among others, Anderson Cooper, Francis Ford Coppola, and Bill Clinton. Born and raised in western Canada, Phibbs has received degrees from the University of Toronto and Parsons School of Design. He lives in New York City with his own rescued buddy, Finn.

The installation was made possible with support from Duggal Visual Solutions, Versatile studios and Trec.
