About the Item
One chromogenic print, 2015, from the edition of 27, signed on a label that accompanies the print, sheet: 770 by 770 mm, 30 1/4 by 30 1/4 inches. Published by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Inc., New York. *This print is unframed. The framed image is for reference only.
This compelling photograph depicts a character, dressed in a white doctor’s coat, placing a stethoscope against the wall’s surface below a painted water droplet. This spontaneous act implies that the wall embodies life-like qualities, such as a heartbeat, and the character’s ears are filled with the sound of the water drop. In addition, as with many of Rhode’s photographs, the character is masked, and meant to remain unknown, universal, and timeless.
Like much of Rhode’s photographic work, Wall of Water is heavily influenced by the early methods of motion photography and motion pictures, often seen in the work of Eadweard Muybridge. A sense of spontaneity and action is also a vital aspect of Rhode’s work, and this work embodies the rebellious nature of graffiti and street art with the body-based performance art of the 1970s.
The Los Angeles Times has written of Rhode’s work, “It may be tempting to lump Rhode in with other artists who document physical performances, but his work is another species entirely. Each image is carefully staged for the camera—in some cases requiring that an entire wall be repainted for each shot. The resulting sequences suggest a combination of live action and animation, a space somewhere in between the reality we inhabit and the one we imagine.”
Lehmann Maupin Gallery recently exhibited Rhode's work in a summer exhibition. Rhode was also commissioned to create a performance piece in Times Square for the performance art biennale, Performa15.

Untitled (Collective Light Power) by Rico Gatson (abstract geometric lines)
By Rico Gatson
Located in New York, NY
In celebration of Lincoln Center's ultimate New York festival, Summer for the City, the Brooklyn based artist Rico Gatson created a dynamic image of bold colors radiating positive energy. Gatson's concentric circle motif and projecting lines draw inspiration from the giant disco ball shining above Lincoln Center's iconic Revson Fountain, a welcoming beacon at the heart of Josie Robertson Plaza.

Untitled (SK-PH) by Angel Otero (abstract screen print)
By Angel Otero
Located in New York, NY
Angel Otero is known for oil paintings of bleeding color fields that bunch and crease to create topographic textures. In this visually compelling edition, Untitled (SK-PH), the artist flattened one of his compositions into a digital print, turning his signature folds into trompe l’oeil. Here, they read as intricate line work atop a tumultuous sea of brushed pastels. Inspired by a visit to the Lincoln Center archives, Otero drew a connection between the dramatic flair captured in photographs of operas presented during the 1970s and works from his “Poussin” series. Discussing the characters depicted in Poussin’s paintings, Otero remarked, “they were painted with poses that seemed staged, like a play set...
