At the Crossroads of American Photography: Callahan, Siskind, Sommer
Exhibition Dates: January 24, 2010- March 10, 2010
Opening Reception: Thursday, January 28, 2010. 5-7pm
At the Crossroads of American Photography: Callahan, Siskind, Sommer examines the aesthetic interrelationship of three artists who helped define the course of American photography: Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind and Frederick Sommer. Although each has been honored with individual museum retrospectives, this is the first comparison of their work and exploration of their robust exchange of ideas about photography, abstraction and experimentation. Self-taught as photographers, they helped shape the evolution of the medium as an art form. Their work is an important bridge between classic mid-century photography and hybrid artistic approaches to the medium today. The exhibition of 70 images was organized by the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art.
The Galleries are located in the Shaffer Art Building and are open to the public Tuesday through Sunday 11:00am - 4:30pm and Thursday evenings until 8:00pm.
