Katherine Wolkoff (American b.1976) is a photographer and artist who focuses on the natural world and how humans' relationship to the land affects climate change and the future of the planet. Over the last twenty years she has investigated these connections through multiple, long-term photographic projects. Wolkoff’s series include pictures of deer beds, the impression left by sleeping deer in the grass, silhouettes of taxidermied birds that were collected by a pioneering woman environmentalist, abstractions of specimens drawn from public lands, and most recently, a long term project about bird migration.
Wolkoff received her BA from Barnard College and her MFA from Yale School of Art. She has had five solo exhibitions in New York City, most recently at Benrubi Gallery in 2022. She has previously shown at Sasha Wolf Gallery and Danziger Projects. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally including the QPN Festival, France; Aperture Gallery, New York; and Palais de Tokyo, France. Her works are included in the collections of the Addison Gallery of Art, the Norton Museum of Art, and the Yale University Library. Her photographs have been featured in publications including the New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and Artforum, and in recent catalogs including Keeper of the Hearth: Picturing Roland Barthes’ Unseen Photograph and Seeing Science: How Photography Reveals the Universe. She is an Associate Professor of Photography at Parsons, The New School.
