2827.001.MM19Description
Cohen is a contemporary artist living and working in both Provincetown and Manhattan. Her two works in this collection are from her books "Dog in the Dunes" (1988) and "Dog in the Dunes Revisited" (2005), both collections of portraits she made of her Labrador retriever, Gabe, during her two week residency in a dune shack. Both pieces are polaroid film stills that Cohen then painted over, exhibiting her mastery of fine detail in the confinement of such a small surface. She illustrates her furry companion in both the interior and exterior of the shack, showcasing the small size and simplicity of the wooden structure.Acquisition
