Lee Friedlander’s photographs of statues, obelisks and plaques nestled within compositions that also include cars, tourists and other signs of contemporary life point to a commutative impulse and collective sense of history. This exhibition features selections from the center’s collection of Friedlander’s "American Monument" series, which he first published in 1976 and continues to expand today. Selective comparisons, by artists such as Eugène Atget, Walker Evans and Garry Winogrand, suggest point of departure for Friedlander’s unique exploration of a rich and inexhaustible theme.
