Can you see what I see? Join us as we explore the works of Walter Wick, one of the nation’s most famous photographic illustrators. Throughout his decades-long career, his award-winning books, including the I SPY! and Can You See What I See? book series, have captivated readers across cultures and generations, combining art, craft, and technology to inspire discovery and wonder.
This exhibition presents the largest survey of Wick’s work to date, which will celebrate his unique approach to storytelling through beloved works such as Yikes!, Clouds, and City Blocks from I SPY Fantasy along with rarely seen work, including his early photographs of optical illusions in nature, and numerous three-dimensional models upon which his photographs are based. The exhibition will delve into themes that have long fascinated Wick, including miniature worlds, optical illusions, “I spy” games, puzzle challenges, and the wonders of science.
