Wild: Michael Nichols

27 June - 17 September 2017
Philadelphia Museum of Art | Philadelphia, USA

Wild: Michael Nichols is the first major exhibition of the work of one of the world’s leading photographers. In this in-depth survey, photographs by Michael Nichols (American, b. 1952) are presented along with paintings, sculpture, and other media selected from the Museum’s collection to demonstrate the enduring importance of the wild: those parts of our world that remain untouched by humankind.

Michael Nichols has collaborated with scientists on groundbreaking projects about great apes, elephants, and big cats, as well as the landscapes of Africa’s Congo Basin and the American West.

The exhibition coincides with the first biography about the artist, A Wild Life: A Visual Biography of Photographer Michael Nichols, authored by exhibition co-curator Melissa Harris and published by Aperture.
