Joel-Peter Witkin | The Bone House

SOLD OUT

This is a retrospective look at the work of one of the late twentieth century’s most profound artists. For this collection Joel-Peter Witkin has personally selected his finest images, ranging from his early Coney Island “freak show” studies to his most celebrated work. Witkin’s portraits of subjects both living and dead have disturbed countless viewers for their unwavering viewpoint and magically grotesque compositions. The artist’s sojourn, with each photograph a station along his path, veers between oblivion and salvation.
