Photographer, designer, and installation artist Barbara Bloom (b. 1951) has built her career out of questioning appearances, exploring the desire for possessions, and commenting on the act of collecting. The Collections of Barbara Bloom, which accompanies a retrospective of the same title at ICP, explores all aspects of her oeuvre,\nincluding works from past multi-media installations and newly made pieces, as well as objects from her vast personal archives of ephemera and advertisements.
