The late Los Angeles-based photographer and artist Ricardo Valverde (1946-1998) is featured in a career retrospective at the Vincent Price Art Museum (VPAM) at East Los Angeles College. The exhibition is guest-curated by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, CSRC visiting scholar and former chief curator at the Museum of Latin American Art (Long Beach, CA), and highlights more than one hundred artworks spanning a twenty-five-year period of production.
Ricardo Valverde: Experimental Sights, 1971-1996, includes works in a wide range of media, from black-and-white and color photographs, to solarized and intervened gelatin silver prints, to painterly collages that incorporate photographs and are mounted on canvas. The exhibition includes several videos; slide projections from Valverde’s photographs of lowriders, Day of the Dead celebrations, commercial signage; a light box with experimental slides treated as sculptural objects; and ceramic sculptures that resonate with his photography.
VPAM’s exhibition is the first survey of Valverde’s extensive body of work, and...it is undertaken in partnership with the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, which recently published Ricardo Valverde, a new monograph by Ramón García in the award-winning A Ver: Revisioning Art History series. The exhibition includes works on loan from the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center.
A catalog for the exhibition is available in PDF format here. Foreword by CSRC director Chon A. Noriega and VPAM director Karen Rapp; essays by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, guest curator of the exhibition, Armando Cristeto Patiño, and Jesse Lerner. The catalog features more than forty color illustrations.
