This event has ended.

Bruce Silverstein Gallery presents a retrospective of the work of Paul Outerbridge (1896-1958). This is the first exhibition of its scope to be held in New York since 1979 and will be the largest exhibition of Outerbridge’s work since Command Performance in 2009 at the Getty Museum, Los Angeles.

A survey of Outerbridge’s influential career is especially timely as his work is consistently cited by a current generation of artists working in the photographic medium. Numerous contemporary artists riff on commercial strategies of image-making that derive from the aesthetics of advertising photography and our visual lexicon shaped by Outerbridge.
