Robert Adams

For decades Robert Adams has been photographing the landscape of the American West, focusing especially on California, Oregon, and his home state of Colorado.

Adams came to early prominence when his work was included in the seminal 1975 exhibition, New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape. He has received many awards, including a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship and the Hasselblad Award. His work has been widely published and exhibited, and been the subject of a major retrospective organized by the Yale University Art Gallery, The Place We Live.
