Diane Tuft

Diane Tuft is a mixed media artist who has fo­cused pri­mar­ily on pho­tog­ra­phy since 1998.

Tuft has al­ways been fas­ci­nated by how en­vi­ron­men­tal fac­tors shape the Earth’s land­scape, and cap­tur­ing this through her cam­era has been a guid­ing prin­ci­ple in her work. By trav­el­ling to the most re­mote places through­out the world in­clud­ing both the North and South Poles, she has been able to doc­u­ment the vi­sual ef­fects of cli­mate change and global warm­ing on our planet.

Tuft is the au­thor of three mono­graphs, ti­tled UN­SEEN: Be­yond the Vis­i­ble Spec­trum; Gond­wana: Im­ages of an An­cient Land and The Arc­tic Melt: Im­ages of a Dis­ap­pear­ing Land­scape. She has had solo ex­hi­bi­tions at the Nat­ural His­tory Mu­seum of Los An­ge­les County, Na­tional Acad­emy of Sci­ences in Wash­ing­ton, D.C., Bruce Mu­seum in Green­wich, Con­necti­cut, Southamp­ton Cen­ter in Southamp­ton, New York, Kim­ball Art Cen­ter in Park City, Utah, Marl­bor­ough Gallery in New York City, Ameringer-Yohe Gallery, and Pace Gallery in New York City. Her work is in­cluded in the per­ma­nent col­lec­tion of The Whit­ney Mu­seum of Amer­i­can Art, The In­ter­na­tional Cen­ter of Pho­tog­ra­phy in New York City, The Par­rish Art Mu­seum in Water Mill, New York, as well as nu­mer­ous pri­vate col­lec­tions.
