Fahey/Klein Gallery is pleased to present Joel-Peter Witkin: Selected Works 1973 - 2018, an exhibition of photographs by Joel-Peter Witkin spanning more than four decades of the artist’s groundbreaking career. Bringing together seminal works and rare prints, the exhibition offers a timely opportunity to engage with one of the most uncompromising and influential voices in contemporary photography.

For over fifty years, Witkin has challenged the conventions of beauty, morality, and representation through meticulously staged tableaux that merge references to religion, mythology, classical painting, and mortality. His photographs occupy a singular space between the sacred and the profane, confronting viewers with images that are at once unsettling and poetic.
