Career summary
David Stephenson was born in 1955, and studied at the University of Colorado and then the University of New Mexico, completing an MFA in 1982. He moved to Australia that same year to take up a position teaching photography at the University of Tasmania School of Art, where he completed a PhD in Fine Art in 2001. A fascination for the vast in space and time characterized by the sublime has led him to travel and photograph extensively around the world, with journeys to Europe, the Himalayas, and both the Arctic and Antarctic.
In a career spanning more than 25 years, Stephenson’s photographs have been exhibited extensively internationally, including solo exhibitions at the Art Gallery of New South Wales (1993), the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (1994), the Paisley Museum and Art Gallery, Scotland (1995), the National Gallery of Victoria, (1998), the Cleveland Museum of Art (2001), and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (2001). His work is represented in many public and private collections including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Queensland Art Gallery, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, the International Museum of Photography and Film at George Eastman House, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
In 2005 Princeton Architectural Press, New York published a monograph of Stephenson’s Domes project titled Visions of Heaven: The Dome in European Architecture. In 2006 the Gulbenkian Foundation Cultural Centre in Paris presented a retrospective exhibition and book of Stephenson’s photographs titled Sublime Symmetries, which included images of architecture, landscapes, and skies. A second monograph on Gothic vaults is currently in production with Princeton Architectural Press, scheduled for release in 2009.
