I spent the summer working with High Line Art to photograph 27 female artists out on the disused – soon to be torn down – Pier 54, in part a response to a 1971 show at the MoMA entitled Pier 18, which included works from 27 male artists and photographed by Harry Shunk and János Kender.

Now on view through December 13, 2014 in a gallery space at the corner of 11th Avenue and West 20th Street in Manhattan, NY
High Line Art is featuring one artist a day on their Tumblr called Pier Peeks – check out their twitter feed links and view the Pier Peeks at http://highlineart.tumblr.com/search/pierpeeks and view some highlights below.
