DESCRIPTION:

This touring exhibition surveys a decade of photographic imagery exploring the subject of oil by artist Edward Burtynsky. This exhibition, premiering in the capital city of the United States in Fall 2009, represents a look at one of the most important subjects of our time by one of the most respected and recognized contemporary photographers in the world. Consisting of 56 color landscapes, this exhibit encompasses a kind of modern-day “lifecycle” of the energy source that has shaped the modern world. The project features many new works, most never-before-exhibited. A major catalogue, published by acclaimed German publisher Steidl, accompanies the exhibition.
