There has been a decided shift in the art world to acknowledge the importance of collecting and preserving photography as an art form in its own right. One museum focused on Bauhaus works created between the world wars, another curated a body of work by North Carolina photographers, while others chose work by such well-known artists as Robert Mapplethorpe, Andres Serrano, Mickalene Thomas, Burk Uzzle, Edward Weston, Aaron Siskind, Francesca Woodman and Ansel Adams.Ĭollecting photographic artworks has become one the fastest growing and highly desirable concentrations within museums.

The exhibition opens to the public at the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington on September 16, 2017.ĬAM invited eight North Carolina art museums to participate in this collaborative exhibition, asking each to curate which photographs to feature from their permanent collections.

The show will run September 16, 2017–February 11, 2018Įxploring the photography collections of nine North Carolina art museums, the exhibition Created by Light will showcase over 100 photographs highlighting both the pioneers of the medium and contemporary artists working in the field today. Work by Alex Harris will be included in an upcoming exhibition, Created by Light, in Wilmington, North Carolina.
