Visionary

Photographs by Robert Maxwell

Opening date: TBA (October)

This exhibition highlights Robert Maxwell’s creative vision and career, spanning several decades across commercial, editorial and fine art photography. His work seeks out beauty–not just in form or appearance, but in the honesty of expression. His portraiture is provocative and complex, revealing truth in the inherent moment or in a subject’s consciousness of being. One of the pre-eminent portrait photographers of our time, Robert Maxwell is a unique artist who successfully balances fashion and celebrity photography with a fine art practice.
