This event has ended.

A pentimento describes changes and alterations in an artwork, marked by traces of previous work made by the artist that are often only visible using advanced imaging technologies. In Pentimento Series, Weingarten layers historic imagery of iconic sites alongside contemporary images. Through the appropriation of archival images, Weingarten shines light on the historical events that once took place in these recognizable locations that are now often dramatically altered, or on occasion, amazingly similar. Continuing with the technique of digital composite images first developed in his 2011 series Portraits Without People, Robert Weingarten’s Pentimento Series explores the ever-changing meaning of place, as latent images of the past subtly emerge in the present.
