The Pretenders

North Galleries

July 17, 2004October 10, 2004

“The Pretenders” explored notions of masquerade, performance, and celebrity in recent photo-based portraiture, including works by Annie Leibowitz, Yasumasa Morimura, Cindy Sherman, and Valantin Vallhonrat. The photographs, selected primarily from the Joseph and Elaine Monsen Photography Collection, highlight the tension between exposure and concealment, and play with concepts of borrowed identity.
