Henry Wessel: Documentary & Style Beyond

The first complete retrospective on the Bay Area New Topographics photographer. Exploring the territory where nature and culture meet, Wessel spontaneously captured scenes from everyday life, sometimes incorporating touches of deadpan humor in the process. With considerable attention to form and light, Wessel also focuses on a repertoire of motifs—including shrubbery, parking lots and beachgoers—transmuting banal subjects into a personal poetry.
