for Bill Dane
Bill Dane
Pasadena, CA, 1938 -
In 1969/1970, after seven years as a painter, Dane took up photography. His
pursuit is an effort of harvesting the curious and ordinary from our everyday
world. "If you're not confused, you're not paying attention." [Tom Peters] is an
aphorism that well describes the world of Bill Dane. His pictures are pieces of a
simultaneously poignant and synthetic puzzle telling us visual truths about
our most uncommon common world. Recipient of two Guggenheim
Fellowships and two National Endowments for the Arts, Dane's work has
been internationally exhibited and collected. His work is held in the collections
of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New
York; Art Institute of Chicago; Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; National Gallery
of Art, Washington D.C.; and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
