Preview of Muse: Mickalene Thomas Photographs and Tête-à-Tête

Aperture Members are cordially invited to a special preview and champagne reception on January 27, for the exhibition Muse: Mickalene Thomas Photographs and tête-à-tête.

Mickalene Thomas, known for her large-scale, multi-textured paintings of domestic interiors and portraits, also identifies the photographic image as a defining touchstone for her practice. While working across multiple series, much of her photographic work functions as a personal act of staging and of reappropriation, both of images she has created herself and those she has singled out as influences. With each series, she grapples with and asserts new definitions of beauty and inspiration. The accompanying Aperture publication, Muse: Mickalene Thomas Photographs, is the first to gather together her various approaches to photography, including portraits, collages, Polaroids, and other processes.
