Join celebrated photographer Gregory Crewdson as he talks about his acclaimed art and signs copies of his new book, Cathedral of the Pines. His work has been exhibited widely in the United States and Europe, and his awards include the Skowhegan Medal for Photography, the National Endowment for the Arts Visual Artists Fellowship, and the Aaron Siskind Fellowship. His latest exhibition, Cathedral of the Pines, runs through March 12 at the Gagosian Gallery in New York City. The book of the same name, his first in over five years, showcases a major transition in Crewdson’s life and work, during which he moved his home and studio from New York to rural Western Massachusetts. Crewdson was the poster artist for the 2009 New York Film Festival.

Gregory Crewdson was born in 1962 in Brooklyn, NY. He is a graduate of SUNY Purchase and the Yale School of Art, where he is now Director of Graduate Studies in Photography.

Crewdson’s career has spanned three decades. His work has been exhibited widely in the United States and Europe and is included in many public collections, including The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Brooklyn Museum, The Los Angeles County Museum and The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

His most widely acclaimed bodies of work have been Natural Wonder, Twilight, Dream House (a 2002 commission by The New York Times Magazine), Beneath the Roses, and most recently, Sanctuary. His newest body of work entitled, Cathedral of the Pines, is currently on view at Gagosian Gallery until March 12th, 2016. Comprised of 31 digital pigment prints, this series was made during three productions in and around the rural town of Becket, Massachusetts. A fully-illustrated book with an essay by art historian Alexander Nemerov has been released by Aperture in conjunction with the exhibition.

Beneath the Roses, a series of pictures that took nearly ten years to complete—with a crew of over one hundred cumulatively—was the subject of the 2012 feature documentary Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters, by Ben Shapiro.

A retrospective of Crewdson’s work produced between 1985 and 2005 toured European museums from 2005–08, and was accompanied by a fully illustrated book published by Hatje Cantz. The recent exhibition “In a Lonely Place” traveled to galleries and museums across Europe, Scandinavia, Australia and New Zealand in 2013. The major monograph Gregory Crewdson was published by Rizzoli International the same year.

Crewdson’s awards include the Skowhegan Medal for Photography, the National Endowment for the Arts Visual Artists Fellowship, and the Aaron Siskind Fellowship.
