Whitney Bedford's Veduta Series Tackles Climate Crisis at Miles McEnery Gallery
From May 14 to June 20, 2026, Whitney Bedford will have a solo exhibition at the Miles McEnery Gallery located at 511 West 22nd Street, showcasing her latest works. This exhibition features her ongoing Veduta series, which she started in 2019. Bedford’s artwork juxtaposes historical landscapes created by male artists before the industrial era, like Camille Pissarro, Paul Klee, Claude Monet, and Vincent van Gogh, with contemporary views of Southern California. By layering elements like flowers, cacti, and windows, she highlights the connection between different eras. The new pieces, rich in sunset colors, tackle the issue of climate change. A digital catalog, which includes an essay by Aandrea Stang, will accompany the exhibition.
