Anglim Gilbert Gallery is pleased to present Rome Works an exhibition of color photography by Catherine Wagner.
Conceived during Wagner’s Rome Prize residency at the American Academy in Rome (2013-14), the Rome Works take as their subject classic Greco-Roman statuary and marble as the medium of Classical Rome. They address the lasting permanence of Antique Rome, both materially and as metaphor, and the function the figures serve as part of the impermeable foundation of Western culture. Wagner’s photographs investigate meanings embedded in these forms, while overturning conventional interpretation of their historical origins.
