The Raft of George W. Bush comes home

Joel-Peter Witkin’s The Raft of George W. Bush, was returned to us this week from an exhibition at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. It’s a stunning print, and we decided to hang it in Gallery Two this morning so that visitors for the Robert & Shana ParkeHarrison show would be able to see it as well. In the video below, Witkin gives a little background into the creation of this photo, and then goes on to talk about the rest of the work in his 2008 exhibition, Poetic Realism. Visit our Vimeo homepage to see more from our Artist Talk series.
