Adam Fuss

Born in London, Fuss grew up in rural England. Interested in his naturalistic surroundings, he began documenting them through photography. Fuss lives and works in New York City and has shown extensively internationally since his first solo exhibition in New York in 1985. His work is distinctive for its contemporary re- interpretation of photography’s earliest techniques, particularly the daguerreotype and the camera-less photogram. Fuss states that in order for any photographic technique to work, it should be personalized and transfigured into a greater metaphor, engaging processes that take place in the natural world. His work is represented in American and International collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art; the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Fuss has solo exhibitions at Cheim & Read, New York and Timothy Taylor Gallery, London and Fundación MAPFRE, Madrid.
