LOT S101 UTA BARTH / FROM "...AND TO DRAW A BRIGHT WHITE LINE WITH LIGHT." UNTITLED (2012.A) Inkjet print on archival heavyweight matte paper in artist's frame 20-1/4 x 30-1/4 inches (51.4 x 76.8 cm), paper size Edition 24 of 30 plus 2 AP's Auction estimate: $10,000 Gift of the artist and 1301PE, Los Angeles Uta Barth is a German-born contemporary photographer who lives and works in Los Angeles. After receiving the MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship in 2012, she noted that she still plans to teach on a part-time basis because teaching forces her to "put language to" what she is thinking. With this series of photographs, Barth continues her exploration of the nature of seeing, offering atmospheric tableaux that challenge our perceptions of the physical world. Barth's works have always hovered between the painterly and the cinematic, but the latest also serve as a meditation on photography itself, as suggested by the series title—photography being a means of drawing with light. Her work is represented in numerous public and private collections worldwide, including MOMA; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Guggenheim Museum; the Tate Gallery; MOCA, Los Angeles, and the J Paul Getty Museum.
