Fresh from its Los Angeles debut, the Tanya Bonakdar Gallery has installed Uta Barth’s …from dawn to dusk (2022), commissioned by the Getty Center for its 20th anniversary and her retrospective there, in its ground-floor gallery. The seven works shown—compositions of images derived from a year of focusing on a single doorway at the museum—fully manifest Barth’s career interest in the mediation of human perception through photography. A capsule survey upstairs, organized by curator Elizabeth Smith, outlines Barth’s career with representative samples from her best-known series.
