Lynne Cohen

The book shows the consistency and depth with which Lynne Cohen (1944-2014) has mined her chosen theme of uninhabited domestic and institutional interior spaces. Depicting formally and not so formally arranged uncanny interiors, Cohen’s photographs are sometimes wryly humorous, sometimes bleak, and frequently both. Her vision is informed by a profound feeling for the mystery in the ordinary, what is on the surface but out of sight. This exhibition catalogue narrated the evolution of Lynne Cohen's unique perspective and offered visitors an unparalleled opportunity to visit the spaces portrayed by the artist during her long and distinguished career. This exhibition was the last one to be held by the artist before her death.
