Currently 86 images are available for purchase.

Lee Friedlander ranks as possibly America's greatest photographer. For over 50 years he has prodigiously photographed what he calls the "American social landscape" with an unflinching eye for realism. Friedlander first began photographing in New Mexico in the late 1960s. Today this work is part of an ongoing series of Western landscapes he has been working on for decades.

The exhibit features photographs taken between 1995 and 2005 in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Gallup, Chimayo, and Diablo Canyon, where Friedlander's fondness for vernacular urban and wilderness areas is evident.

Lee Friedlander will be in the gallery for the opening reception this Friday, Oct. 31, 2008 from 5 to 7 pm to meet the public and sign copies of his newest publication, "Lee Friedlander: New Mexico", published by Radius Books, Santa Fe, NM (2008).
