Walter by Joseph Holmes

Jen Bekman Gallery’s own Joseph O. Holmes has been awarded first place in an international juried portrait exhibition opening this January in Minneapolis. Joe’s portrait, Walter (above), was selected from a pool of over 200 entries by David Little. Little is currently the curator of photographs at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts but no stranger to the New York art world, having held positions at both The Whitney and the MoMA.

The exhibition, which includes 84 portraits, will open January 8th, 2010 at the gorgeous Mpls Photo Center, a “member-based, public-friendly center for all things photography that includes classrooms, darkrooms, a digital lab, and exhibition space.”

Congratulations to Mr. Holmes on this exciting start to 2010! We can’t wait to show Joe’s work here in New York when his solo show opens later this year at Jen Bekman Gallery.

In the meantime, head over to 20×200 to collect some beautiful prints by Joe, and don’t forget to subscribe to Joe’s NYC to get your daily dose of Holmes.
