On the occasion of Diane Arbus's birthday, we're looking back to our exhibition with Gillian Wearing at Doris C. Freedman Plaza in 2022. 📷 The celebrated New York photographer, who took many of her best-known images in Central Park, is one of several artists Wearing counts among her key influences, or “spiritual family.”
Wearing’s statue drew attention to the fact that few women are represented in this way, and even fewer visual artists. Who gets to be memorialized has become and continues to be a lively public debate. Installed at the entrance to Central Park, this statue was one artist’s tribute to another.
