Desks as Portraits
Posted by Fabio 10 July 2012
Desks as Portraits: An Inside Look at the DC Art World by E. Brady Robinson documents the desks of artists, curators, collectors, art critics, dealers, museum directors and taste makers in the District. This project has become a “six degrees of separation” in the DC Art World. One photo shoot leads to another in which Brady asks for recommendations and names of possible subjects. Further introductions are made and invitations accepted which allows her private access to people who are making significant contributions to contemporary art and photography in DC.
