When most people think of Albert Watson, they picture his iconic portraits and high-fashion photography, unforgettable images of Alfred Hitchcock, Kate Moss and Steve Jobs. But a new virtual exhibition from Camera Work Gallery turns our attention to a lesser-seen side of the legendary photographer’s work – his extraordinary still lifes.
Titled The Silence of History, this online show runs through May 22, and features 26 striking images that blend the sensibility of classical still life with Watson’s unmistakable visual precision. Presented across two virtual floors, the exhibition is a quiet, powerful journey through objects that span millennia, from ancient Egyptian relics to fragments of 20th-century pop culture.
