Here and Home More than 200 photographs from his conceptual and collaborative works of the 1970s
"Here and Home" is the first retrospective of California photographer Larry Sultan (1946-2009). The exhibition includes more than 200 photographs ranging from Sultan's conceptual and collaborative works of the 1970s to his solo works in the decades following. Sultan never stopped challenging the conventions of photographic documentation, exploring themes of family, home, and facade throughout his career. Five major bodies of work are represented including: Evidence (1977), made collaboratively with Mike Mandel; Swimmers (1978-81); Pictures from Home (1982-92); The Valley (1998-2003); and Homeland (2006-2009). The show is augmented by a "study hall," with documentation and ephemera providing a glimpse of Sultan's modes of inquiry as an artist and a teacher.
