Museum exhibition

Images Group exhibition at Le Point du Jour in Cherbourg, France, featuring Robert Longo

24 September 2023—28 January 2024
Le Point du Jour, Cherbourg, France

This exhibition was conceived by the Frac Normandie from works by artists from 2010-2020 who have recently entered its collections: Nina Childress, Anthony D. Green, Wade Guyton, Pierre Joseph, Trevor Paglen, Julia Scher. The exhibition explores the nature of the image in the age of digital reproduction. The title is a reference to the Pictures exhibition organized in New York in 1977 by art critic Douglas Crimp. Subsequently, the name 'Pictures Generation' came to designate American artists who, at the turn of the 1970s-1980s, used existing images in their own work.

At Point du Jour, historic works by Sherrie Levine, Cindy Sherman and Jack Goldstein are presented, as well as two recent works by Robert Longo.
