Remarkable group of new works by Uta Barth at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in New York

NEW YORK, NY.- Tanya Bonakdar Gallery presents a remarkable group of new works by Uta Barth. As the artist’s ninth solo exhibition with the gallery, this show brings together two of Barth’s latest series of color photographs within the main floor exhibition spaces. Furthering her exploration of the atmospheric and incidental, Barth conceived her latest major body of work, … and to draw a bright white line with light, on the occasion of her 2011 solo exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago. This series is installed in the main gallery space as a sequence of diptych and triptych paneled photographs that trace a growing ribbon of light against the curtains of the artist’s home. Created over the course of a single afternoon, this project follows a distinct chronology that diverges from the circular nature of her earlier series. Here, Barth captures glimpses of the ephemeral as it exists
