Press release
Baldwin Gallery is celebrating its 30th winter season in Aspen with its 7th show with artist Adam Fuss. The exhibition, Theia, features new gesso-print photography on aluminum. The show is accompanied by its 8th exhibition of paintings by Ross Bleckner. The shows run from March 14 – April 20, 2025. The public is invited to meet Adam Fuss at the opening reception on March 14th, from 6–8pm.
Adam Fuss has used many photographic techniques throughout his career, including photograms and daguerreotypes. In this series, he employs a press to create a collage effect where the photographed objects appear three-dimensional. The photographs evoke feelings of change, the passage of time, and the delicate nature of reality.
Fuss (b. 1961, London, UK) grew up in England and Australia, where he first began to photograph the natural environment. Fuss deems that for any photographic method to resonate, it should be tailored and transformed into a grander metaphor, utilizing practices intended to mirror the natural world. Fuss’s imagery is permeated by spiritual and romantic elements.
His work has been exhibited in museums and institutions worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Victoria and Albert Museum, London, UK; and Huis Marseille Museum for Photography, Amsterdam, Netherlands, among others. Fuss has lived and worked in New York City since 1982.
Bleckner’s work employs ephemeral connections that bond the transcendent with the physical world. He has long used flowers as subjects of profound and fleeting beauty. They seem to dance and create a harmony of movement and flow, boldly and purposefully using grace and color to engage the viewer.
Ross Bleckner (b. 1949, Long Island, NY) received his bachelor’s degree from New York University and his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. He has since gained wide recognition and distinction throughout the art world. He has been exhibited and held in collections at prominent museums and galleries worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art; Collezione Maramotti Museum, Reggio, Italy; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, Spain; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, among others.
