The Artist Profile Archive: James Welling

Artist James Welling tells us about his work and life in his own words.
At CalArts he earned both a BA and an MFA. During his time there, he studied with John Baldessari and was part of a community of artists that became one of the groups that made up the Pictures Generation. This movement included artists who were interested in representational imagery, explored in part through framing and staging, hallmarks of Welling's work.
His work is widely exhibited and included in part in the permanent collections of the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photograph, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and Whitney Museum of American Art, all in New York. For his profile, his exhibition Choreograph at Regen Projects was filmed in 2016.
