THE WHITNEY PRESENTS 2017 WALTER ANNENBERG LECTURE: CATHERINE OPIE IN CONVERSATION WITH ADAM D. WEINBERG ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30
NEW YORK, November 2, 2017—For the 2017 Walter Annenberg Lecture, artist Catherine Opie will speak with Adam D. Weinberg, the Museum’s Alice Pratt Brown Director, about her practice as an artist and the power of photography in the history of American art and in contemporary life.
The annual lecture is given in honor of the late Walter H. Annenberg, philanthropist, patron of the arts, and former ambassador.
The conversation will take place on Thursday, November 30, at 7 pm in the Susan and John Hess Family Theater on the Whitney’s third floor. Tickets are available at whitney.org ($15; $10 for members, seniors, and students).
ABOUT CATHERINE OPIE
Catherine Opie was born in Sandusky, Ohio and received her MFA from CalArts in 1988. Opie’s work has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan, including a mid-career survey at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2008. Her photographs include series of portraits and American urban landscapes, ranging in format from large-scale color works to smaller black and white prints. Moving from the territory of the body to the framework of the city, Opie's various photographic series are linked together by a conceptual framework of cultural portraiture. Opie was a recipient of The Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art Medal in 2016, The Julius Shulman Excellence in Photography award in 2013 and a United States Artists Fellowship in 2006. Recent projects include a permanent photographic installation for the new Los Angeles Federal Courthouse, and her book, 700 Nimes Road, a portrait of Elizabeth Taylor, was recently published by Prestel in 2015. A large survey of Opie’s work opens in Fall 2017 at the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter in Norway, with an accompanying catalog. Upcoming solo exhibitions open in October of 2017 at Thomas Dane, London, and 2018 at Regen Projects, Los Angeles, and Lehmann Maupin Hong Kong and New York. Opie lives and works in Los Angeles and is a Professor of Photography at UCLA.
