Quarter Gallery presents Seen and Unseen, a solo exhibition of photography by American artist Adger Cowans.
The artist is in his work. That is where you find him if you want to find him. Who he is, how he feels, what he thinks—and even that is limited. The artist is a living thing. He is always changing and growing older. - Adger Cowans
(Minneapolis, MN) — The Quarter Gallery at the University of Minnesota, in association with the University Libraries, is proud to present Adger Cowans: Seen and Unseen, a solo exhibition of photographs by the acclaimed American artist. Thirty gelatin silver prints, some of which have never been seen before, offer an archetypal span of the artist’s vision, talent, and spirit. From several thousands of negatives spanning sixty-eight years of photography by Cowans, 21st Editions publisher (photography and fine arts press), Steven Albahari, made an initial selection of 1500 images. A final grouping of fifty images emerged from a collaboration between 21st Editions and the curator, University of Minnesota Arts & Performing Arts Librarian, Deborah Ultan. This exhibition and related programming are made possible by support from the Department of Art, the University Libraries, Steven Albahari of 21st Editions, and an anonymous donor.
