Retrospective survey of the life work of American photographer Jeffrey Silverthorne (1946-2022)
This book accompanies the first retrospective survey of this American artist. For 45 years, Jeffrey Silverthorne has been working steadily on an extensive body of work. With a background in the Fine Arts and the American photographic tradition, Harry Callahan and Edward Weston, Silverthorne developed a photographic oeuvre that moves and balances between personal experiences, public spaces of presentation, and staged scenes. The disguised body is omnipresent. In Silverthorne's work the transsexual becomes an ultimate symbol of boundaries blurred.
His work is in the permanent collections of the Biblioteque Nationale, Paris; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum; Yale University Art Gallery; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House, Rochester; Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland; RISD Museum, Providence; Museum for Photography, Antwerp; State Gallery of the Czech Republic; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Musee de l'Elysee Lausanne Switzerland; Lars Swander, Copenhagen; Christian Caujolle, Paris and other collections.
François Cheval is chief curator of the photography museum Musée Nicéphore Niépce, Chalon-sur-Saône, France.
Joachim Naudts is curator & editor of photography and contemporary art,
based in Ghent, Belgium.
