Sarah Anne Johnson Acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Museum Acquisition

Sarah Anne Johnson’s "Glitter Bomb" (2015) has been acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY. This acquisition will be presented in a group exhibition, Dream States: Contemporary Photographs and Video, which will be on view May 16 through October 30, 2016. 

 

"Glitter Bomb" is from Johnson's series Field Trip, which explores the bacchanalian culture of summer music festivals. At once ominous and ecstatic, the image evokes the blissed-out mind-set of young revelers taking part in a modern-day rite of passage.
