John Wood (born 1922) challenged “pure photography” in the 1960s when he began to employ collage, cliché verre, solarization, and lithography in his work. Encompassing Wood’s career from the early 1960s to the present, the exhibition is the most comprehensive presentation of the artist’s work to date. "John Wood: On the Edge of Clear Meaning" includes over 150 photographs, mixed-media works, and artists’ books. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
Exhibition on view May 12–July 18, 2009.
A selection of Wood’s photomontages, "Quiet Protest," will be on view concurrently at the International Center of Photography, 1133 Avenue of the Americas (at 43rd St.), May 15–September 6, 2009.
