This platinum print, Nick Del Vecchio, Oneonta Yankees, 1992, belongs to the photographic series Minor League, which artist Andrea Modica worked on in the 1990s, while living in upstate New York. The series focused on the Oneonta Yankees, a minor league affiliate of the New York Yankees, which Modica became interested in after attending a summer game. Initially put-off by what the artists saw as performed masculinity, ambiguous rules and frivolity, Modica investigated the iconic pastime further and what followed was a two-year project documenting the players, relationships and hardship of competition. Andrea Modica earned her BFA in Visual Arts and Art History from State University of New York College (SUNY) at Purchase, NY in 1982, and earned her MFA in Photography from Yale University in 1985. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is in many collections, such as the Museum of Modern Art, NY; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; the George Eastman House, Rochester, NY, the National Museum of American Art Washington, DC, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA. Modica has received numerous grants including a Guggenheim Arts Fellowship in 1994 and a Fulbright-Hays Research Grant in 1990. Modica has been published in Newsweek, Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, and other magazines, as well as two monographs, Minor Leagues (1993) and Treadwell (1995). Modica taught photography at the State University of New York – Oneonta for thirteen years, as well as holding positions at Princeton University, Parsons School of Design, the State University of New York College at Purchase, and currently is a professor of photography at Westphal College of Media Arts and Design, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA. Andrea Modica was born in New York City, NY and lives in Philadelphia, PA, where she works as a photographer and teaches at Drexel University. She is a graduate of Yale School of Art, is a Guggenheim Fellow, a Fulbright Scholar and the recipient of a Knight Award. She is known for portrait photography and for her use of platinum printing, created using an 8" x 10" large format camera.
