Guggenheim Museums major mid-career survey of Catherine Opies work  is the first to gather all of the artists key projects to date in a single volume. Opie is best known for her subtle but potent portraits of people from the queer communities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. In this definitive volume  each of Opies series--among them Portraits  Freeways  Domestic  Icehouses and In and Around Home--is reproduced in full color plates alongside works that were not displayed in the exhibition  allowing for the most complete overview of this important Los Angeles artists work to date. In addition  this volume features a lead essay by exhibition curator Jennifer Blessing  which surveys Opies artistic career and its historical contexts; a series of interviews with the artist by Russell Ferguson  Chair of the Department of Art at UCLA; and a brief personal reflection by internationally renowned novelist Dorothy Allison  whose work explores many concerns similar to Opies. It also includes introductory essays on each of the artists series by Nat Trotman  Assistant Curator at the Guggenheim  as well as a newly researched  exhaustive exhibition history and bibliography  making it the primary source for future research on Opies work. Catherine Opie was born in Ohio in 1961 and is currently Professor of Photography at UCLA. Opies work has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States  Europe and Japan. She has had solo exhibitions of her work at the Walker Art Center  Minneapolis; St. Louis Art Museum; Museum of Contemporary Art  Chicago; and the Museum of Contemporary Art  Los Angeles  among many others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647904342069,"sku":"ByrdShop_0892073756","price":96.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780892073757.jpg?v=1781699599","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/catherine-opie-american-photographer-9780892073757","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
