The Yale University Art Gallery’s multivenue touring retrospective of the work of American photographer Robert Adams premieres in Vancouver in September 2010. Robert Adams: The Place We Live features over 300 prints spanning Adams’s 45-year career, and the exhibition will be accompanied by two major publications—a monograph, What Can We Believe Where?, and a three-volume retrospective, The Place We Live, which will contain over 400 images, including some previously unpublished, and a wealth of new scholarship on the influential photographer’s work.
