"Opening to Wonder" In the Studio with Walton Ford

Описание: Walton Ford discusses his practice, research methodology, and sources of inspiration at his NYC studio. Participants had the opportunity to see works-in-progress during this intimate window into Ford's creative process.

Walton Ford’s monumental watercolors and editioned prints expand on the visual language and narrative scope of traditional natural history painting, mediating on the often violent and bizarre moments at the intersection of human culture and the natural world. Walton Ford’s work is included in a number of private and public collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art. His mid-career retrospective traveled from the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum Fur Gegenwart in Berlin, to the Albertina in Vienna, and to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark in 2010-11. Ford was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Musée de la Chasse, Paris, 2015. Taschen has issued four editions of his large-format monograph, Pancha Tantra.
