Zane Bennett Contemporary Art in Santa Fe is proud to inaugurate its new, upstairs gallery space at 435 South Guadalupe Avenue in Santa Fe with a showing of extraordinary, new, large-format prints by Donald Woodman, widely acknowledged as among the country’s leading interpreters of modern Western people, lands, and life.

“One of the most startling qualities of Donald Woodman’s photographs,” the cultural critic Michael Kimmel has written, “is the raw immediacy of the images.” That’s certainly true for the approximately forty prints in The Selling of the West. Woodman shot most of the photographs during a prolonged road trip along the backroads and lonelier parts of the high desert and mountain West.

“I wanted to record the landscape as it is: being sold, closed off and/or developed,” Woodman says of the work in The Selling of the West. “At the same time, I admit it, I am susceptible to how realtors ply us with slogans like: “Solitude Brings You Closer to Paradise”; “Hassle-Free Luxury”; “Often Requested, Rarely Available.”

The images he ultimately shot and selected for the show reveal a West that retains its indelible, rugged allure—but that has been developed, broken-up, trampled, and literally and figuratively, trashed.

“I have tried to record what I see,” Woodman says, “but in order to accomplish this, I have had to shed the mantle of the tradition of landscape photography from which I come. These images come complete with trash, weeds, bushes, fences, roads and power lines, which make up the real world we live in.” The photos also memorialize a countryside so spectacular that even our best efforts can’t ruin it.

We believe that The Selling of the West will become one of the most talked-about photographic shows of the season in Santa Fe. It also will be a Grand Opening Event, celebrating the opening of the new Zane Bennett Contemporary Art gallery space in the Railyard in Santa Fe.
