Emmet Gowin: Baldwin Street Photographs 1966-1994

Pace will present an exhibition of photographs by Emmet Gowin, most of which have never before been seen, at its 508 West 25th Street gallery in New York from March 12 through April 25. The presentation of works from Gowin's Baldwin Street: Photographs 1966–1994 series will coincide with the release of a new book on the same subject from Princeton University Press, available for purchase onsite during the show. It will also run concurrently with AIPAD's The Photography Show, on view in New York from April 22 to 26. The exhibition will spotlight a selection from Baldwin Street: Photographs 1966–1994, a body of intimate portraits by Gowin of his wife Edith Morris and her extended family taken in Danville, Virginia. Named after the dead-end street where many of Edith's family members—including her mother, Reva Booher Morris—lived, the series bears witness to the lives and relationships that shaped this family over time and sheds light on Gowin's artistic development across his career, which spans more than six decades. Gowin unearthed the photographs on view in the show—most of which have never been published and were printed for the first time in 2020–2022—from his archive, looking back at and revisiting a subject that drew his attention during different stages of his life.
