			Lehmann Maupin is pleased to present To Your Shore From My Shore And Back Again, an exhibition of portraits and landscapes by Los Angeles-based photographer Catherine Opie, curated by the artist. Over the course of her career, Opie has produced numerous bodies of work that engage important socio-political issues and critical discourses in contemporary culture, art history, and the history of photography. Her distinct approach to image making blends the objectivity of documentary photography with conceptual rigor, technical mastery, and an occasional dose of wry humor. Opie’s work examines and often exposes the ideals and norms surrounding stereotypical American values and social structures, expanding ideas of both identity and community, and giving visibility to those often overlooked within dominant narratives.
