Small Wonders
New Mexico Museum of Art
The museum is making a big deal about little pictures! This selection of photographic work, both historic and contemporary, invites visitors to revel in the pleasures of the miniscule. Featured are a small selection of nineteenth-century photos that provide a historical grounding for an engaging group of work by six contemporary artists who work on a small scale, including Susan R Goldstein, David Janesko, Jenna Kuiper, Jan Pietrzak, Liz Stekeete, and Laurie Tümer.
