He worked extensively with Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery in New York City, where his first piece with the gallery consisted of 26,000 35mm film photographs of Lower Manhattan. This work was exhibited at MoMA PS1 and was then acquired by The New York Public Library and is now in their photography collection.

His large-scale painting, Barbara and David Stone’s Bookshelves was exhibited at Gimpel Fils Gallery in London, Nicole Klagsbrun in New York and then purchased by Museum of Fine Arts Houston. The museum created an online site where the viewer can zoom in and see the many hundreds of books in the painting.
