Hom Exhibition Moves Outdoors

COOPERSTOWN—Danish photographer Marc Hom is recognized for his iconic portraits of some of the most recognized faces in the world. Over his decades-long career, he has artistically captured the likeness of Hollywood and cultural elites such as Anne Hathaway, Miley Cyrus, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift, King Frederik X of Denmark, and a seemingly endless list of notable names.

“Marc Hom: Re-Framed” is a summation of Hom’s work to date and a portrait of the artist’s restless mind. On view from May 25–September 2 at Fenimore Art Museum, the new exhibition offers visitors two components. The first resembles a traditional gallery retrospective. The second brings Hom’s work into a wilder space—the outdoors. Here his polished studio portraits are printed 11 feet high and mounted on Masonite frames that catch the weather, swiveling in the wind.

“From the moment I saw Marc Hom’s beautiful photographic work and became aware that he lived close by the museum, I wanted to showcase his photographs in our galleries,” said Dr. Paul S. D’Ambrosio, Fenimore Art Museum president and chief executive officer. “Marc’s exhibition moves photography into new realms, coaxing us to follow along and giving us more freedom to explore the stunning images in our own ways. Fenimore is proud to share this groundbreaking new venture.”
