Located inside The Museum of Modern Art’s sixth floor Steven and Alexandra Cohen Center for Special Exhibitions, Wolfgang Tillmans’s “To look without fear” highlights the artist’s inventive, philosophical approach to art making through a survey of around 350 works. Organized by The David Dechman Senior Curator of Photography, Roxana Marcoci, Curatorial Assistant Caitlin Ryan, and Phil Taylor, who is the former Curatorial Assistant, Department of Photography, Tillmans’s works (a selection of photographs, videos, and multimedia installations) have been organized somewhat chronologically from the 1980s to the present, highlighting for viewers the artist’s advocacy for the social and political causes that drive him—like giving a voice to LGBTQ+ communities, the AIDS crisis, and more. Comprised of several bodies of work and strategies for displaying art, the artist’s first New York museum survey will be on view from September 12, 2022—January 1, 2023.
