Yancey Richardson is pleased to present Facsimile, an exhibition of new work by Sharon Core, the artist’s fifth solo presentation with the gallery and one that continues her ongoing interrogation of the meaning of authenticity and authorship in her work. The exhibition will be on view from February 27 through April 12, 2025. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, February 27th from 6–8PM with an artist walkthrough at 5:30PM.

Through the meticulous recreation of historical still-life paintings, along with more recent artworks rendered through the medium of photography, her work explores the tension between reality and its photographic representation. In Facsimile, Core expands these themes by subverting her usual process. Rather than reproducing painted still-lifes through photography, she has instead turned to Irving Penn’s iconic Flowers series—a masterful collection of photographic still-lifes—and reinterpreted them through painting. This ambitious project both deepens and reframes Core’s exploration of the still-life genre by posing questions not only about photography in the digital age, but about material specificity and the status of the reproduction as well.
