Artist of the Month – Uta Barth
As a way to showcase our collection of artworks, we wanted to begin introducing the masters behind these pieces as our Artist of the Month. This allows us to take a closer look at the artworks in our collection and the fascinating people behind their creation.
Introducing Uta Barth
For this first edition Artist of the Month, we chose LA-based photographer Uta Barth. Known for her conceptual approach to photography, Uta plays with light, perception, and space, giving her a signature style within the world of contemporary photography.
Career and Trajectory
Born in West Germany in 1958, Uta Barth’s early life was shaped by Berlin during that era. She later moved to the United States before the fall of the Berlin Wall, arriving in California at the age of 12. In 1982, she earned her degree in Fine Art from the University of California, followed by her master’s degree in 1985.
For much of her career, Uta Barth worked primarily as a university professor in the art department. It wasn’t until her breakthrough series Grounds (1992) that the foundations of her exploration of perception and light were fully established, marking the first step toward her emblematic style in abstract photography.
Untitled, 2006
Originally exhibited at the Alison Jacques Gallery, The Art Dome showcases two diptychs from the her series, Untitled (2006). These works continue the blurred abstraction of everyday scenes and objects found in her earlier work, while diving deeper into explorations of color particularly red tones. When overexposed with still photographs of flowers, the series plays with shadow and abstraction, resulting in a dynamic stillness.
How can art support my business growth?
Art transforms spaces, inspires teams, engages clients, and strengthens reputation while creating long-term cultural value.
Can my company build a collection with The Art Dome?
Yes. We create curated art collections that represent your brand’s identity and connect it with culture and innovation.
I’m an artist. How can I join The Art Dome?
You can apply to our residency and acceleration programs. We guide artists with mentorship, visibility, and international connections
Sundial, 2007
Created a year later, Sundial (2007) marks an important milestone in Barth’s professional career. With her professorship ending the following year, this body of work reflects her continued exploration of perception and color now pursued full time. Originally exhibited at the Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, Sundial explores earthy tones, light, and the passage of time, looping these elements through the continuous imagery of the diptych format.
Perception and Time
With both Sundial (2007) and Untitled (2006), we encounter works that demonstrate profound dedication and sensitivity, showcasing the passage of time through light and the subtle movement it produces even in complete stillness. These masterpieces are a timeless addition to The Art Dome’s collection from the great master Uta Barth.
