Artist: Sharon Core

Yancey Richardson presents Flowering, an exhibition of new and recent photographs by Sharon Core that continue to examine the expressive qualities of plants and perennials, both as types and as singular forms. Originating as a kind of personal archive, these photographs document many of the varieties she cultivated in her garden by describing them at different stages in their life-cycle, from a first flowering to their dried and nearly withered end. Though most would eventually return the following season, others would die out, resulting in a growing portfolio of images that serve equally as studies and memorials. In these sharp and pristine images, Core combines the immediacy of observation from her day-to-day life with a deeper historical perspective.

Sharon Core was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1965. She received her BFA in painting from the University of Georgia and her MFA in photography from Yale University School of Art. Core has shown her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions both in the United States and abroad. Her work is included in major collections including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; the Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, TX; The Phillips Collection, Washington, DC; the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California; National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, DC; Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio. She was the recipient of the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Art Grant in 2000. Her monograph, Sharon Core: Early American, was published by Radius Books in 2012. The artist lives and works in Esopus, New York.
