I have known Bill personally only for a short time, but have been familiar with his work for long. Bill has been a prolific photographer since 1970, after starting in the art world as a painter. His work is idiosyncratic, original and catching, with a very high level of aesthetic and semantic power. I find it a very interesting insight into our modern world and its symbology. "His pictues are pieces of a simultaneously poignant and synthetic puzzle telling us visual truths..." (Frish Brandt, Fraenkel Gallery.)
Bill is a recipient of two Guggenheim Fellowship and two National Endowments for the Arts. His work is held at the NY MoMA, the Met, and the National Gallery in DC, among others.
