Robert Adams, On the Edge
at The Fondation Cartier to January 27, 2008

Robert Adams’ first solo exhibition in France is presented at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain.


Conceived entirely by him and inspired by his current concerns, this show provides a rare opportunity to discover an artist known for his devotion to the western American landscape. Entitled On the Edge, it showcases approximately one hundred and fifty photographs that reflect both devastating and hopeful visions of the environment from three separate but related series: West from the Columbia (1990-1992), Time Passes (1990-1992), and Turning Back (1999-2003). A look back at his distinguished career via the remarkable publications that have accompanied his photographs since 1970 invites visitors to delve into his lesserknown passion for books as an equally important artistic medium.
