Gordon BaldwinUnited Stated, 1939 - 2020

Known as a photography scholar and curator, Baldwin became a fixture of Andy Warhol’s factory in New York during the late 1960s, and 30 years later he would curate the 1999 exhibition Nadar/Warhol: Paris/New York, a show juxtaposing the work of the 19th-century French photographer Gaspard-Félix Tournachon, known as Nadar, with the photographs of Andy Warhol, noting that each “was the most important visual artist of his time to set out deliberately to create celebrity for their subjects”. Over the next 15 years, Baldwin worked as an artist himself, specialising in architectural drawings, which were exhibited often and won him grants at the Wurlitzer Foundation of Taos, New Mexico, the American Academy in Rome, and the Brimacombe Foundation of Bolinas, California. His interest in architecture stayed with him throughout his life, and in 2013 he published the book Architecture in Photography. https://www.fada.org/fada-artist/gordon-baldwin/
