Synopsis

An avid supporter of the Vancouver School of conceptual photography, prodigious contemporary art collector Phil Lind (1943–2023) was drawn to artworks that shone a light on social and political histories. Steeped in conceptual art, Phil Lind’s collecting impulses drew him to photographs, paintings, and sculptural work by artists whose work probed the social force of imagery.

Featuring an essay by curator Adam Welch and 90 reproductions of works, Light Years both illuminates Lind’s own collection and casts a light on artists that emerged in Vancouver during the 1980s and thereafter. Included in this elegant volume are lens-based works — such as large-scale light boxes and multimedia installations — by Stan Douglas, Rodney Graham, Ron Terada, and Jeff Wall, as well as photographs, paintings, and sculptures by Ai Weiwei, Thomas Demand, William Eggleston, General Idea, Antony Gormley, Philip Guston, William Kentridge, Thomas Ruff, Laurie Simmons, and Wolfgang Tillmans.
