Fallen, acquired by the Whitney Museum of American Art, was displayed at the museum in a Fall 2007 exhibition of recent acquisitions entitled “Two Years.” The piece was then exhibited in “On the Margins” at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Musuem in St. Louis. That exhibition was accompanied by a publication with text written by Eleanor Heartney and Paul Krainak. “Fallen” was later displayed in solo exhibitions at the Wexner Center for the Arts, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke, VA and then at the FLAG Art Foundation.
