Artist Emmet Gowin and Pace’s Curatorial Director Xin Wang will lead a walkthrough of Gowin’s exhibition Baldwin Street: Photographs 1966-1994 at our gallery in New York on Friday, April 24.

In the gallery’s intimate setting, Gowin will speak about the photographs on view, a body of portraits of his wife Edith Morris and her extended family taken in Danville, Virginia, over several decades. Captured with tangible care and compassion, they reflect the artist’s close relationships with his subjects.

Signed copies of Gowin’s new book on the series from Princeton University Press will be available for purchase after the tour, which will conclude with coffee and light breakfast bites.

Presented by Pace Live in collaboration with AIPAD, this event will coincide with AIPAD's The Photography Show, on view in New York from April 22 to 26 at the Park Avenue Armory.

Emmet Gowin

For six decades, Emmet Gowin has contemplated humanity's relationship to the natural world with visual wonderment. His photographs have evolved from intimate portraits of his wife Edith Morris and extended Virginia family, to aerial vistas of nuclear test sites, to scientific surveys of tropical ecosystems and their dependent biodiversity. He has created formally abstract, luminous compositions of the volcanic devastation of Washington’s Mount St. Helens, the chemical contamination of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, pivot irrigation agriculture in Kansas, the chemo-petrol industries of the Czech Republic, and most recently, the Spanish province of Granada.
