ABOUT

Europe: America explores two crucial moments in the artistic career of Paul Graham through the juxtaposition of two of his series: New Europe (1986-1992) and A shimmer of possibility (2004-2006). The first was the result of a trip made through Europe, and the second through the United States.

The publication brings together photographs, diptychs, and polyptychs made between 1986 and 2006. The series New Europe, developed between 1988 and 1993 in a series of repeated trips through nine European countries, from Germany and North Ireland to Italy and Spain, explores the tensions that the artist and others felt with respect to the future of Europe, as well as the recent past, from the Second World War to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
