Pilgrimage: Photographs by Mary Frank - Hardcover

by Mary Frank (Photographer)

For sixty years, new York artist Mary frank (b. 1993, england) has been making deeply personal work that has found broad appeal through countless exhibitions and publications. Her work has taken a variety of forms during this timefrom sculpture and oil paintings to multimedia installationsbut in the last ten years, her focus has been increasingly on the use of photography in the service of ideas that she has evolved throughout her artistic life. These photographs are not like any others and represent an amalgamation of themes and subjects that have appeared in all other media in which the artist has worked. Renowned poet and critic John Yau and environmental activist and author Terry Tempest Williams contribute essays that offer insight and dimension into these new collage-based works. frank has been widely exhibited in museums and galleries since the 1950s and the subject of three major monographs, Mary Frank (Abrams, 1990), Shadows of Africa (Abrams, 1992), and Mary Frank: Encounters (Abrams, 2000).
