Catherine Opie’s documentary photographs primarily focus on the idea of community and serves as an ongoing investigation into the identity of contemporary America. For More American Photographs, Opie draws from stores in her immediate geographic area to cultivate feelings of both connection and disconnection.

Opie has had more than twenty solo exhibitions since 1989 including a mid-career survey at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York.
