David Armstrong Portraits — David Armstrong

Artists Space presents the first US survey of photographer David Armstrong (1954–2014). The exhibition brings together over 90 photographs made between the 1990s and the 2010s, comprising primarily vintage prints. Portraits includes sequences that closely echo those that the artist developed in his photographic workbooks and earlier shows, while also including a major installation first staged in 2004. The exhibition traces Armstrong’s artistic progression and the ways in which he mined his own aesthetic foundations to find new directions forward. Co-organized by Artists Space Executive Director & Chief Curator Jay Sanders and Deputy Director Kelly Taxter, the exhibition has been realized in close collaboration with the David Armstrong Archive on behalf of the Estate.
