ABOUT TED SPAGNA
In the Press (1977-1989)
Spagna's brilliantly colored exposures…of the hidden world of sleep reveal the human figure as a sculptural vertical construction, a formal presence that appears strikingly vulnerable in its unconscious state.
– Thomas Frick (Art in America, June 1989)
Like Eadweard Muyvridge's pioneering 19th-century studies of animal locomotion and Harold Edgerton's stroboscopic feats with milk drops and flying bullets, Spagna's "God's-eye views," as he calls them, succeed as both art and science.
– Paula Chin (People Magazine February 1989)
