Self-PortraitBarney's third solo exhibition with Kasmin, The Beginning, opened in March 2023. Concurrent with the exhibition, a book of fifty works was published by Radius Books.Over the course of her 40-year career, acclaimed American photographer Tina Barney (b. 1945) has illuminated the inner lives of her subjects, observing the generational repetition of familial traditions and rituals as played out in domestic settings. Recognized for her large-format photographic portraits realized in vibrant color—and more recently, for her foray into landscape photography—Barney demonstrates the same complexity and sensitivity whether she is shooting world-renowned celebrities or the figures and faces of those known to her personally.
"My selection of subjects has always been instinctive. There is no rhyme or reason to my choices. Sometimes a flash of memory, which could come from a movie, a work of art, a childhood friend, or maybe a fashion statement, will spark interest in a particular person. They always feel like deep, dark secrets that I keep to myself." –Tina Barney
