Description:
When the gallery reopens on Tuesday, July 7, visit "John Wood: On the Edge of Clear Meaning." John Wood (born 1922) challenged “pure photography” in the 1960s when he began to employ collage, cliché verre, solarization, and lithography in his work. Encompassing Wood’s career from the early 1960s to the present, the exhibition is the most comprehensive presentation of the artist’s work to date. "John Wood: On the Edge of Clear Meaning" includes over 150 photographs, mixed-media works, and artists’ books. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.

Exhibition on view May 12–July 18, 2009.

A selection of Wood’s photomontages, "Quiet Protest," will be on view concurrently at the International Center of Photography, 1133 Avenue of the Americas (at 43rd St.), May 15–September 6, 2009.

More about New York University
New York University
One hundred and seventy five years ago, Albert Gallatin, the distinguished statesman who served as secretary of the treasury under President Thomas Jefferson, declared his intention to establish “in this immense and fast-growing city … a system of rational and practical education fitting for all and graciously open to all.”

At that time, 1831, most students in American colleges and universities were members of the privileged classes. Albert Gallatin and the University’s founding fathers planned NYU as a center of higher learning that would be open to all, regardless of national origin, religious beliefs, or social background.

While the University’s commitment to these ideals remains unchanged, in many ways Albert Gallatin would scarcely recognize NYU today. From a student body of 158, enrollment has grown to nearly 40,000 students attending 14 schools and colleges at six different locations in Manhattan and in over 20 study-abroad countries around the world. Students come from many foreign countries. The faculty, which initially consisted of 14 professors and lecturers (among them artist and inventor Samuel F. B. Morse), now totals over 3,100 full-time members.
