Steve Fitch
Texan Motel, Highway 64, Raton, New Mexico; December 19, 1980

About the Item

From the Vanishing Vernacular series. Vanishing Vernacular features a selection of color works by photographer Steve Fitch focusing primarily on the distinctive, idiosyncratic, and evolving features of the western roadside landscape including topologies of neon motel signs, drive-in movie theaters, radio towers, and ancient rock pictographs. We are also proud to display Fitch’s large scale murals for the first time in Santa Fe. "The photographs in [Vanishing Vernacular] blaze a trail through our Western landscape. It was a selective and personal view that was created over thirty-eight years and many miles traveled. Although it is my story, I think it is also one that most Americans who have wandered our roadways in the West will recognize and appreciate. It is also a story that is evolving and that has not ended.” – Steve Fitch Print available in a Limited Edition of 12

  • Cavallino Treporti Trees
    By Gianfranco Pezzot
    Located in New York, NY
    Italian photographer Gianfranco Pezzot has always been interested in the ways we shape, use, and experience the environments we create. Having felt the need to extensively research for his work, the Resorts series emphasizes the relationship between the economical need for tourism and the lasting effects it plays on the environments we inhabit. Inviting scenery is isolated from its usual friendly connotations. Like ghost towns, these abandoned buildings give us the feeling of an artificial aesthetic, built just for holidays then quickly abandoned. By focusing on the shape of these places and his own spiritual connections to them, Gianfranco Pezzot demonstrates the acceptance of the inevitable. The shift of summer extends inside the buildings also, exacerbated by pure white, perfectly still lines. Buildings become art, free to stand regardless of their new ambition to just be. Gianfranco Pezzot's work has been published in several books and magazines like K*MoPA Photographs by the Next Generation, Eyemazing, the International Biennial of Contemporary Art Exhibitons and Tiger Art...
