Photographer Catherine Wagner spent two years in residence at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. While there she photographed selections from the museum’s collection of more than 50,000 historic light bulbs. The resulting series, titled A Narrative History of the Light Bulb, opened yesterday at San Francisco’s Stephen Wirtz Gallery and runs through April 28. A reception for the artist is scheduled for Thursday, April 5, 5:30-7:30pm. The beautifully minimalist and sculptural photographs are also viewable online. Seen here, The Lamps of 1900 (Lambda Print, 33.9 x 18.4 inches, 2006).
