Description

For over thirty-five years, James Welling has created beautiful and uncompromising photographs, and continues to be lauded by photographers, artists, and critics for his influence on the contemporary generation of art photographers. Operating in the hybrid ground between painting, sculpture, and traditional photography, Welling is first and foremost a photographic practitioner enthralled with the possibilities of the medium. James Welling: Monograph provides the most thorough presentation of the artist’s work to date, as well as offering an indispensible resource for those interested in this artist’s remarkable, foundational practice. The volume includes text contributions by Mark Godfrey and Thomas Seelig, and an interview with Eva Respini, associate curator in the Department of Photography at MoMA.

James Welling has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally. An earlier survey exhibition, James Welling: Photographs, 1974–1999, originated at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, and traveled to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Baltimore Museum of Art.
