Gerald Slota
Gerald Slota (born 1965) is an American artist and photographer who has been widely exhibited in the United States and internationally. Slota is represented by the Ricco/Maresca Gallery[1] in New York City and the Robert Berman Gallery in Los Angeles.[2] He is known for a deconstructed style of working with his own or found photographs and drawing, cutting, and transforming the images.
His first book, Gerald Slota: Story [3] with Joyce Carole Oates and Chuck Mobley was selected as one of the New York Times "Top Ten Photo Books of 2012".[4]
Slota's works have been included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art,[5] the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA),[6] the Norton Museum of Art,[7] the George Eastman Museum,[8] and as a billboard[9] with the 2018 Los Angeles Billboard Creative Show[10] and in numerous private collections.
