Vera Lutter

While she has gained international recognition for her uniquely produced camera obscura images of industrial and architectural sites around the world, she has also produced digital projects that focus on light and sound to articulate time’s passing. Lutter has received a Guggenheim Fellowship (2001) and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2002), and her work is included in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among others. She is represented by Gagosian Gallery (NYC) and Galerie Max Hetzler (Berlin).
