The Landscape in Focus: Recent Acquisitions in Photography

This exhibition of contemporary landscape photography complements the exhibition of paintings by Suzanne Chamlin on view in the Museum’s Meditz Gallery.

In this intimate exhibition, remarkable landscape images share space with photographs which display poignant narratives of human interference with the natural world. Featuring works by Adger Cowans, Jeremy Dennis, Adriana Arenas Ilian, Alen Macweeney, Bea Nettles, Andrea Robbins and Max Becher, Victoria Sambunaris, Larry Silver, James Welling, and Huang Yan, the exhibition includes both color and black-and-white photography, capturing landscapes from the 1960s to the present day, both real and imagined. These recent acquisitions, procured through generous gifts or purchased with funds especially allocated for diversifying the Museum’s permanent collection, invite contemplation on the relationship between humanity and our environment.
