Uta Barth’s (b. 1958) meditative photographs go on display at the Getty in an exhibition through October 2023. While for Uta the camera is her chosen tool ,she says,”I rarely think of photography. I think of sculpture and installation and painting. I don't categorize media the way the world likes to.”
The LA based artist, 64,is a former recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship (2012) and a Guggenheim fellowship (2004), among other honors. She also attended UC Davis as an undergraduate.
Barth’s images examine, often in large scale, and color, examine the ephemeral qualities of light on human perception. Barth often photographs settings within her own home. She works and lives in Los Angeles.
