Uta Barth
This retrospective of the photographer Uta Barth traces her use of the camera to explore both how and what we see. Los Angeles–based contemporary artist Uta Barth (b. 1958) has spent her decades-long career exploring the complexities and limits of human and mechanical vision. At first, her photographs appear to be deceptively simple depictions of everyday objects—light filtering through a window, tree branches bereft of leaves, a sparsely appointed domestic interior—but these images, visually spare yet conceptually rigorous, emerge from her investigation of sight, perception, light, and time. In this richly illustrated monograph, curator Arpad Kovacs and contributors Lucy Gallun and Je...

In 2011, Blind Spot magazine launched Blind Spot Series, publishing small-format, limited-run artist's books that present concise suites of images from single bodies of work by important contemporary artist-photographers. The newest in this series is Los Angeles-based Uta Barth's stunning To Draw with Light, featuring 46 color photographs from the acclaimed . . . and to draw a bright white line with light and Compositions of Light on White series (recently exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, 1301PE in Los Angeles and Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in New York) alongside new works created specifically for the book. According to essayist Paul Soto's recent review in Art in America, these works are especially remarkable because they include, for the first time, traces of the artist's body as she arranges the elements within her photographs--the gauzy curtains in front of her sundrenched windowsill, or the light which projects through her window blinds to create floating geometric monochromes upon her closet doors.

Barth's work draws its strength from its blurring of the familiar and strange, bringing the viewer to a liminal space between the two. It is in this space that Barth begins her investigation into the very nature of perception, where the epistemological importance of such formal qualities as lighting and composition becomes astoundingly evident. Uta Barth: In Between Spaces is the first comprehensive book on Barth's oeuvre, presenting a carefully selected survey of her works, and as such is a must-have for viewers, collectors and students attracted to contemporary art and photography. The poetic resonance, radical intelligence and sheer beauty of Barth's pictures are given perfect illustration in this book, designed with the artist herself.

The definitive look at one of the most influential artists using photography today. German-born, American-based artist Uta Barth (b.1958) is among the key recent figures who have brought photography to the prominent position once occupied by painting. Her photographs of interior and exterior, urban and natural environments capture fleeting moments as if glimpsed out of the corner of one's eye, where we become aware of the beauty of everyday light, space, texture and luminous surfaces. Working in broad series, each body of work explores different details of our surroundings, such as the corner of a room (Ground #38, 1994), the headlights of a passing car (Field #3, 1995), bare trees seen through a window (white blind [bright red], 2002). A kind of 'portrait photography, but with the sitter removed', Barth's work focuses not on the subject of the photograph, but on the subtle play of light and shade on planes and surfaces: that is, the phenomena of vision itself.
