Virginia Museum of Fine Arts holds David Wojnarowicz’s Dust Track I (Primary Title), 1990, in its collection.
This gelatin silver print represents David’s fascination with patterns pressed into the dust underfoot by things like tire tracks and boot-prints.
He first made these images for the catalog of his 1990 retrospective Tongues of Flame curated by Barry Blinderman at University Galleries, Illinois State University. Later, he overlaid them with his own text and articles taken from newspapers to create images in the dark room he had inherited from his mentor Peter Hujar.
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is a state-supported, privately endowed educational institution created for the benefit of the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Its purpose is to collect, preserve, exhibit, and interpret art, to encourage the study of the arts, and thus to enrich the lives of all.
