John Maggiotto

Teaches at New York Botanical Garden

John Maggiotto is an artist living in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. He studied Art History and Studio Photography at the State University of New York at Buffalo. His true apprenticeship in fine arts took place at Hallwalls from 1977 to 1980, becoming the director in 1979. His work at Hallwalls, an alternative artists' collective, lead to a three year position at the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington, DC. In 1983, Maggiotto moved to Los Angeles where he exhibited his SX-70 Polaroid works at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, LA Institute for Contemporary Art, and the LA County Museum of Art. Since then Maggiotto has returned to the large print as the vehicle to frame his vision.
