AMY ARBUS, a New York-based photographer, has published four books, including the award-winning On the Street 1980-1990 and The Inconvenience of Being Born. The New Yorker calls her most recent book, The Fourth Wall, her masterpiece. Her photographs have appeared in over one hundred periodicals around the world, including People, The New Yorker, Dazed and Confused, and The New York Times Magazine. She has had twenty-one solo exhibitions worldwide, and her photographs are a part of the collection of the New York Public Library and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

For this exhibition she will present a series of brand new color 16 x 20” prints that continue the renowned black and white work seen in her Fourth Wall book and exhibitions in New York and Provincetown in 2008. The images are of theater actors in costume, in character, but out of the context of their productions. Because they have a timelessness and are made in unidentifiable places and they encourage one to reassess the characters’ existence beyond the life of the play. Included are portraits of Alan Cumming, Lili Taylor, Christine Ebersole and many others.
