Exposição - Arbus • Sherman • Woodman: American Photography from the 1960s and 1970s, Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio, until April 30th 2024
Diane Arbus, A Young Man in Curlers at Home on West 20th St. 1966 (printed 1973 by Neil Selkirk). Gelatin silver print. Gift of the Tim Tarrier Family, In Loving Memory of Libby Tarrier
On view in Gallery 5 is work by three major American photographers—Diane Arbus, Cindy Sherman, and Francesca Woodman—produced between 1962–1980. At a time when photography was regarded as less important than painting and sculpture, these artists were pushing the limits of the medium to create innovative practices and perspectives.
This selection of monochromatic prints reflects a shared interest in capturing the world outside oneself as well as the world within. Perspective is an elemental link between each work: the images speak to how we see ourselves as individuals, how we are perceived, and how we observe others.
