Curator's walk-through: "Ricardo Valverde: Experimental Sights, 1971-1996"

As part of the public programming for the exhibition Ricardo Valverde: Experimental Sights, 1971-1996 at the VIncent Price Art Museum (VPAM), join exhibition curator and UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center visiting scholar Cecilia Fajardo-Hill for a walk-through of the exhibition.

Ricardo Valverde: Experimental Sights, 1971-1996 (May 17- July 26, 2014) includes artworks in a wide range of media: from black-and-white and color photographs, to solarized and intervened gelatin silver prints, to painterly collages that incorporate photographs and are mounted on canvas. The exhibition includes several videos, slide projections from Valverde’s photographs of lowriders, and Day of the Dead celebrations.

VPAM’s exhibition is the first survey of Valverde’s extensive body of work, and is undertaken in partnership with the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, which recently published Ricardo Valverde, a new monograph in its award-winning A Ver: Revisioning Art History series. Ricardo Valverde is written by Ramón García.

This event is FREE.
