Collected Works

Representing more than three decades of work largely made in her studios in Chicago and New York City, including pieces from her earliest years, Collected Works. Whether recording, literally and metaphorically, the dissection of a melon, a goat, and again and again (with a superb sense of fear) a hare; or magnifying the minuscule; or elevating the mundane and making even death life-affirming, Joan Goldin's work is continually re-seeing, revising, with many a take on a given view, alive in the imaginative capacities of different media: photography, oil, charcoal, graphite. Closing with a consequential contribution: "The eye's mind" by Christopher Ricks.
