Sharon Core

October 4, 2025 – February 1, 2026

Yancey Richardson congratulates Sharon Core on her exhibition Sharon Core: 1606 to the Sixties at The Hyde Collection. Sharon Core interrogates the boundaries between painting and photography, and between the handmade and mechanical sides of picture-making. Trained as both a photographer and painter, she problematizes longstanding associations linking photography to mechanical documentation of “the real” versus painting’s affiliations with individual inspiration and imagination. The results are photographs that are at once hyper-realistic and painterly, believable yet deceptive. The exhibition will feature works from four of Core’s series, 1607–1907, Early American, Thiebauds, and Oldenburgs.
