This Is, this is (1989 - Now) Brings Bill Jacobson to Boston for Sixth Solo Show with Robert Klein Gallery
Robert Klein Gallery is pleased to present This Is, this is (1989 - Now), the gallery's sixth solo exhibition of photographs by New York artist BILL JACOBSON. This survey charts Jacobson's course over the last 26 years, from his early defocussed images to the crisp, reductive work he continues to explore today. Taking place at the gallery's Back Bay and South End locations, the joint exhibition coincides with the recent release of Jacobson's fifth monograph, Place (Series), published by RADIUS BOOKS.
This Is, this is (1989 - Now) highlights the completion of Place (Series) and a concurrent project, Lines in My Eyes. It also includes images from the earlier bodies of work Song of Sentient Beings, New Year's Day, Interim Landscape, Some Planes, and A Series of Human Decisions.
The exhibition will open with an artist's reception and book signing at ROBERT KLEIN GALLERY (38 Newbury Street) on Saturday, February 27, from 4 to 6 PM. A First Friday reception at ROBERT KLEIN GALLERY @ ARS LIBRI (500 Harrison Avenue) will be held on Friday, March 4, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Both events are free and open to the public.
Jacobson has shown extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe and has work in numerous museum collections, including Metropolitan Museum of Art; Guggenheim Museum; Whitney Museum; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Brooklyn Museum; Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art; Victoria and Albert Museum, and many others.
