EXPLORE EXHIBITION
The Robert Koch Gallery presents Mammoth Plates, an exhibition of early photographic images of California by Charles Leander Weed (1824–1903), Carleton E. Watkins (1829–1916), and Eadweard Muybridge (1830–1904). Shown in conjunction with Matt Black’s exhibition, New World Atlas: California & Nevada, the exhibition draws a connection between 19th-century images of grandeur and a present-day view shaped by environmental fracture. The exhibition includes rare prints, among them a Watkins image that is not included in the J. Paul Getty Museum’s comprehensive catalog of his work, Carleton Watkins: The Complete Mammoth Photographs, published in 2011, as well as prints for which few examples are known to exist. The exhibition will feature mammoth plate albumen prints dating from 1864 through 1883.
