About the Item
Influenced by late nineteenth-century expeditionary photographers such as Timothy O'Sullivan, who documented the "unexplored" territories of the West, Mark Klett visually explores these landscapes and the marks left on them by man. His images, like O'Sullivan's, have a human context - whether it be the lights of a city, a hat, foot or shadow jutting into the frame, or debris/artifacts left behind by ancient or modern passers-by. Working mostly in the desert Southwest, Klett neither laments the peopling of the landscape nor attempts to visually preserve the last of the pristine landscape of the American West. Rather he explores the inevitable interaction of man with his habitat.

Mark Klett
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 1977–79, Klett 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.
Klett’s later photography has focused on quintessential destinations such as the Grand Canyon, Cedar Mesa, Yellowstone, and the US/Mexico Border. Referencing visual culture, social science and the language of photography, Klett demonstrates how our perception of the West is shaped by the history of its representation and the role of humans in it, even in its most remote areas.
Klett has an 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 15 books and shown his work internationally for over 35 years. Klett 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.

Moran and Condor
By Mark Klett

Using landscape photography to reflect on broader notions of culture, the passage of time, and the construction of perception, photographers Mark Klett and Byron Wolfe spent five years exploring the Grand Canyon for their most recent project, Reconstructing the View. The team's landscape photographs are based on the practice of rephotography, in which they identify sites of historic photographs and make new photographs of those precise locations. Klett and Wolfe referenced a wealth of images of the canyon, ranging from historical photographs and drawings by William Bell and William Henry Holmes...
