“What is new in photography has always been new vision. A new vision that brings truth to formal, social, and cultural reality.” - Joel-Peter Witkin
Bruce Silverstein Gallery is pleased to present Joel-Peter Witkin: The Early Works, an exhibition consisting of twenty-four vintage photographic prints by one of the most idiosyncratic and recognizable photographers of the 20th century. With images spanning 1950 to 1978 - many of which are unique and have not yet been displayed - this exhibition offers the viewer rare insight into the origins of the artist’s innovative and distinctive vision.
