This photograph came from Ansel Adam's, Friends of Photography Gallery. In a last ditch effort to save the gallery from closing, FOP had a fundraiser selling limited edition prints from selected photographers. This photo is from that sale. Despite their efforts the gallery closed. The bar code on the back is the inventory number from the gallery.
Susan Wides is best known for her color photographs of the urban built environment of New York, as well as scenic views and iconic landscapes of the Hudson Valley. Susan's photographs convey the experience not merely of being in a place, but of connecting to that place on many levels of consciousness. She creates a unique visualization of a site using a language of the lens both with her approach to the subjects of her investigations and the methods of selective focus she has innovated and evolved since the 1980's.
Wides's work has been exhibited widely throughout the US and Europe. Solo exhibitions include The Center for Creative Photography, Arizona; The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, New Paltz; Madelyn Jordon Fine Art, Scarsdale; Group exhibitions include the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; The High Museum of Art, and The Municipal Art Society.
