The Miniature Worlds of Bruce Metcalf

In the Bigger Picture: Richard Misrach

Bruce Metcalf has long been revered as a leading art jeweler, curator and critic of contemporary craft, and essayist. This is the first major exhibition and catalogue on his engaging and spirited work. The exhibition features seventy pieces dating from the 1970s to the present, on loan from the collections of the artist, museums, and private lenders across the country. "In the Bigger Picture" provides an overview of Misrach's almost 30-year career as a master of large format photography.
