About the Item

Mark Klett Color Saguaros series (Saguaro in darkness with moon), 2020 inkjet print on handmade Japanese paper 10.75” x 8.25” unframed / 14.75" x 12" framed Edition of 20 The subject of Mark Klett’s photography is the vast Western landscape and its visual interpretations. He is particularly interested in exposing the effects of time, culture, history and human activity on the landscape and developed the technique of rephotographing to achieve this. From 1977-1979, he was the chief photographer for the Rephotographic Survey Project that reshot, from the same physical location, iconic views of the West by early geological survey photographers who were working in the 1860s. The pairing of these historical and contemporary images of the same landscapes revealed the technical, political and aesthetic decisions made by the 19th century photographers and exposed the ideologies underpinning these supposed neutral images. Later work has focused on quintessential destinations such as the Grand Canyon, Cedar Mesa, Yellowstone, and US/Mexico Border. Referencing visual culture, social science and the language of photography, he demonstrates how our perception of the West is shaped by history of its representation and the role of humans in it, even in its most remote areas. Klett has a MFA in photography from the State University of New York, Buffalo and a B.S. in geology from St. Lawrence University. He has published over fifteen books and shown his work internationally for over thirty-five years. He has received four National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships as well as numerous awards from the likes of the Guggenheim Foundation, The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and the Japan/US Friendship Commission. He is Regents’ Professor of Art at Arizona State University, where he has taught since 1982.

  • 'Sombras Doradas (5)' Large Scale Photo, Desert Silhouette Sunset Yellow Gold
    By Sophia Milligan
    Located in Penzance, GB
    'Sombras Doradas (2)' Limited edition archival photograph. Unframed, hand signed and numbered _________________ Shadows painted on the finca wall: low December sun, golden, luminous, casting soft silhouettes through the aperture of the Eucalyptus leaves. Sophia's poetic photographs are an exploration of the balance in all things: in the sensual interplay of light and shadow; in wild raw energy and serene stillness; in the enduring and the effervescent. They are a contemplation of the awareness that everything in existence is temporary, they speak of the ephemeral nature of all things. Moments, feelings, experiences cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where the beauty comes from. 'I work with time, and the immeasurable spaces of experience within... tangible traces, evidence left behind, records; process in action, stilled'. 40 x 60 inches Limited edition of 25 Archival Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® paper, one of the most beautiful and high quality art papers available. The luxurious matt finish provides a reflection free image that is rich in detail, depth and tone. Hand signed, titled and numbered to the lower right corner on an approximately 1 inch white border. Each print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity featuring a signature and edition number. Other sizes available, please contact * Please note that images of the artwork in situ and framed are an indication of how the piece can look, and in the context of other artworks.
