The Intersection of Dining and Photography

This exhibit looks at photography as it relates to dinnerware and dining. It has been said that one “eats with one’s eyes.” The implication is that one can anticipate how food will taste based on how it looks and how it is presented. A food photographer might have insights into this and other dining tropes. But what is the intersection between photography and dinnerware when it comes to such well-known photographers as Sandy Skoglund, Piero Fornasetti, Robert Mapplethorpe, Cindy Sherman and others who might not all be household names.
