Place (Series) is Bill Jacobson’s latest body of work. The American artist describes the images as “the result of inserting rectangles of various sizes and surfaces within both constructed and natural settings.” As opposed to the out-of-focus work for which Jacobson initially became known in the 1990ies, these photographs speak to the perceptual interactions with the physical world that surrounds us.

Spanning a career of over 40 years, Bill Jacobson’s work is represented in important private and public collections internationally aswell, including the Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London among many others. Jacobson has received fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation (2012), the Aaron Siskind Foundation (1995), and the New York Foundation for the Arts (1994). Since 2007 he has taught in the Bard/ICP MFA program based in New York. Place (Series) is his fourth monograph, published by Radius Books. Born 1955 in Norwich, Connecticut, Jacobson now lives and works in New York.
