Will Vogt: Behind the Hedges

Beschreibung

Will Vogt's remarkable photographs exploring the daily life of America's upper class. Behind the Hedges offers a contemporary view of America's upper class as seen through the lens of Will Vogt. While Vogt's images often capture deceptively ordinary daily activities, they generally take place in venues that remain inaccessible to most and portray those who frequent elegant gatherings, wide sandy beaches, seaside cottages, exclusive golf courses, racetracks, and hunting fields on plantations, ranches, and British shooting estates. Marked by recurring annual events and activities, his photographs of friends and family offer a glimpse into a world of privilege that remains remarkably unchanged by contemporary society.

Autor

Will Vogt (photographer) was raised in Haverford PA. He describes his childhood as relatively normal for the late 1950's - 60's. That is, until three days after his 16th birthday when he saw Jimi Hendrix live. Things shifted again a year later when his father gave him a Nikkormat camera for his 17th birthday. Since the late 1960's he has kept photographing his social, upper class circle. This work was published as These Americans by Schilt Publishing in 2023. Vogt divides his time between his family's summer home in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, his home in Corpus Christi and his South Texas family ranch. Jennifer Garza-Cuen (editor) is an artist and Professor of Photography at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. She received her MFA in photography and MA in the History of Art and Visual Culture with honors from the Rhode Island School of Design. Garza-Cuen is the recipient of numerous awards. Her work has been exhibited internationally and is included in the public collections of a range of top calss museums. Garza-Cuen's monograph, Past Paper // Present Marks: Responding to Rauschenberg, in collaboration with Odette England was published by Radius Books 2021.
