William Christenberry: Photographs, 1961-2005
October 15, 2010 - January 9, 2011
Aperture, a not-for-profit organization devoted to photography and the visual arts, has organized this traveling exhibition and produced the accompanying publications.
Ranging from his earliest Brownie photographs of the early 1960s to his later work with a large-format camera, William Christenberry: Photographs, 1961-2005 is a survey of this artist’s poetic documentation of Southern vernacular architecture, signage, and landscape that captures moments of quiet beauty in a sometimes rustic terrain. Coupling never-before-seen photographs, both old and new, with images that are now iconic, this exhibition comprises fifty photographic works and one sculpture, and, in turn, conveys the breadth of his unprecedented project and singular photographic vision.
