Manifest and Sublime: Yancey Richardson's Survey of American Landscape Photography
Yancey Richardson presents Manifest and Sublime, an exhibition exploring the evolving relationship between photography and the American landscape. Spanning the medium's history, the show features mammoth plate albumen prints by Carleton Watkins from Yosemite National Park alongside contemporary daguerreotypes by Binh Danh made in the same location. The works repeatedly depict a landscape that remains beautiful despite human intervention, whether surveying nature's immensity or lamenting its transformation. The exhibition includes pieces by Ansel Adams, Robert Adams, Diane Arbus, and Binh Danh, among others.
