American Horizons: The Photographs of Art Sinsabaugh

Art Sinsabaugh, Midwest Landscape #9, from “Midwest Landscape Group,” 1962, Gelatin silver print

June 6 – September 7, 2008
Dart, McCone and Klemme Galleries, La Mirada

Overview: This major retrospective of Chicago photographer Art Sinsabaugh (1924-1983) is the first complete survey of the artist’s career ever assembled. Trained and taught at Chicago’s renowned Institute of Design, Sinsabaugh made his artistic breakthrough in the early 1960s with a giant 12 x 20-inch “banquet” camera that allowed him to synthesize a nineteenth-century vision with mid-twentieth-century formalism. Sinsabaugh’s remarkable photographs capture a richly nuanced sense of place and the ever-changing face of the American environment.

This exhibition was organized by the Indiana University Art Museum and has toured nationally to venues including to the Art Institute of Chicago, the Columbus Museum of Art and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. The Monterey Museum of Art is the sole West coast venue for this landmark retrospective.

American Horizons: The Photographs of Art Sinsabaugh is sponsored by Jim and Betty Kasson.
