NYAB Event - Frederick Sommer "Circumnavigation"

This event has ended.
At Bruce Silverstein
Media: Painting, Drawing, Photography

While well-known throughout his lifetime as an accomplished photographer, Sommer also maintained a lifelong passion for drawing, painting, collage, poetry and prose. This exhibition, comprised exclusively from works held by the Frederick & Frances Sommer Foundation, is the first attempt to represent the complete artistic works of Sommer in over 50 years, and is organized to expand upon the knowledge and understanding of a truly complex and prolific artist. With artworks selected by Naomi Lyons, Sommer’s assistant from 1985 to 1999 and a trustee of the Foundation, Circumnavigation presents an exploration of the interrelationships between the various media utilized by Sommer, while also bringing to light the evolution of themes, structure, and line developed over time.
