Melissa Shook

MIYAKO YOSHINAGA is pleased to announce our representation of the estate of Melissa Shook, an American photographer, artist, writer, and educator who passed away in 2020 at age 79. From September 8 to October 15, 2022, the gallery will feature a solo exhibition by Shook, presenting compelling black-and-white self-portraits she created in the early 1970s. The exhibition will be accompanied by an online catalog with an introduction by Kristina Shook, the artist’s daughter and the subject of her Krissy series. The opening reception will be held on Thursday, September 8, 6-8 PM. Concurrent with this exhibition, University of Massachusetts Boston, where Shook taught photography for 31 years, will hold a retrospective of her work in various mediums “Melissa Shook: Inside and Out” including photographs, drawings, artist books, and sculpture. (September 6 – October 29, 2022).
