Edwynn Houk Gallery on Fifth Avenue presents “Walking Objects, Legs & Shoes”, the first solo exhibition at the gallery by Pictures Generation photographer and filmmaker Laurie Simmons. The show brings together three series spanning nearly two decades: Walking Objects (1987–91), in which a house, purse, microphone, camera and donut walk on human or doll legs; and two series exhibited for the first time — Legs & Shoes (1996), glossy dye destruction prints of doll legs in oversized shoes, and The Vogue Pictures (2005), commissioned by Vogue but never published.
