American Art Catalogues presents Unhome, an exhibition of new works by Christopher Culver to coincide with the release of the artist’s first monograph.
Christopher Culver’s first monograph, Unhome, includes drawings from 2020 to 2024 that depict waning environments. The works index a specific historical moment, chronicling American life amidst the aftershocks of deindustrialization.
