During the early 1980's, Barbara Crane spent a few hot summers lugging around a heavy Super Graphic 45 camera and boxes Polaroid film though the summer festivals of Chicago.

Written by Lisa Kereszi

I had the good fortune to sit down recently with Assistant Curator of Photographs at the Yale Art Gallery, Joshua Chuang, who gave me a preview of the long-awaited Robert Adams retrospective. (There was one in 1989 organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, but the last twenty years of work obviously got left out.) The event will not only consist of the touring institutional exhibitions, but will also be paired with a series of painstakingly-produced books. Chuang has worked on the entire endeavor directly with Adams himself and Director Jock Reynolds, as well as the master printers at Meridian Printing in Rhode Island over the past few years.
