CURIOUS VISIONS – TOWARD ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHY
2021-11-01Spanning more than 2,800 square feet on the sixth floor of the Martin Building, the new Delisa & Anthony Mayer Galleries nearly double the space for photography in the museum and will be a place to see regular rotations of work from the permanent collection and beyond.
The inaugural two-part exhibition, Curious Visions: Toward Abstract Photography, explores experimentations with abstraction from the past 100 years. Approximately 60 works are featured, spotlighting historical images by photographers including Berenice Abbott, Eliot Porter, Man Ray, Aaron Siskind, Edward Weston, and Minor White alongside contemporary artworks by Gary Emrich, Jungjin Lee, Laura Letinsky, Alison Rossiter, and others. The exhibition encourages viewers to identify different ways of thinking about abstraction, and to understand techniques that artists have used to explore that aspect of photography.
