Uta Barth
A diptych from ...and of time.
2000
Framed color photographs

Barth is represented by a group of photographs from ...and of time., a series of more than 1,000 photographs that the artist made of her sparsely furnished living room. Focusing on issues of perception and what Barth calls "ambient vision," these carefully cropped images suggest her affinity for works at the Getty Center by contemporary artist Robert Irwin (Central Garden, 1997) and Impressionist painter Claude Monet (Wheatstacks, Snow Effect, Morning, 1891). Copies of the book that serves as an index to Barth's project are on view in the exhibition and are available for purchase in the Museum bookstore.
