The Museum of Modern Art announces Stephen Shore, the first U.S. survey to encompass the entirety of Stephen Shore’s career in photography, from the gelatin silver prints he made as a teenager to his current work with digital platforms. On view from November 19, 2017, until spring 2018, the exhibition tracks the artist from his wunderkind beginnings—works made when he was just 14 years old were acquired by Edward Steichen, the director of the Department of Photography at MoMA; he had a solo exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art when he was 24 years old—through his continual, restless interrogation of image making. Stephen Shore is Susan Weber Professor in the Arts and director of the Photography Program at Bard. He has taught at the College since 1982.
