Uta Barth

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uta Barth (* 1958 in Berlin ) is a German photographer who lives and works in Los Angeles .

Uta Barth creates photographs that are often so blurred that they no longer document reality, but represent perception. She repeatedly presents her works in combinations of two photographs each, which are reminiscent of diptychs and in which the same object was sometimes taken with only a slightly changed perspective.

She has been a professor at the University of California, Riverside since 1990 .

Her photographs can be found in several collections, including the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, Tate Gallery London, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art , and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City .

In 2012 she received a MacArthur Fellowship .
