## Internationally-acclaimed photographer Valérie Belin debuts her first solo show in the U.S.

 

Featuring 17 exquisite, monumental images,*Valérie Belin: Made Up* explores a photographer’s ability to manipulate perception of artificiality and reality. In her images of mannequins, models and still lifes, Belin’s work treats the iconic and the banal equally and displays both on a disarmingly large scale. Belin’s mid-career retrospective was received with enormous popular and critical praise across Europe – she is rapidly becoming a leader in the world of photography. *Valérie Belin: Made Up* was organized by Phillip Prodger, PEM’s Curator of Photography.
