Charting the Canyon: Photographs by Mark Klett & Byron Wolfe

September 25, 2009 through January 3, 2010
The Grand Canyon – natural wonder, sacred ground, national park, international tourist attraction—is perhaps the world's best “photo op.”  Vivid colors, breathtaking vistas and jaw dropping canyon depths have lured photographers to Northern Arizona for years.   A new exhibition, Charting the Canyon: Photographs by Mark Klett & Byron Wolfe on view at the Autry National Center from September 25, 2009 through January 3, 2010, explores this celebrated place of dramatic beauty with large-scale sweeping panoramas that marry 21st century color photographs with historic drawings and images. 

Dreamers

September 25, 2009 through January 3, 2010
From unknown hopefuls to international celebrities, surfers to scientists, quacks to entrepreneurs, Southern California has produced an unrivaled potpourri of dreamers unique in their unbridled optimism and world-class accomplishments. Fifty-plus color photographs of these dreamers, both current and historic, with accompanying short bios and quotes, plus some large-scale landscape photos and interactive features (‘suggest your own dreamer’).

Home Lands: How Women Made the West

From ancient pueblos to modern suburbs, women have shaped the Western landscape through choices about how to sustain home, family, and community. Home Lands: How Women Made the West brings together women's history, Western history, and environmental history to show how women have been at the heart of the Western enterprise across cultures and over time. Historical artifacts, art, photographs, and biographies of individual women will lead visitors through four distinctive Western environments created and inhabited by women.
