"Mary Ellen Mark: American Odyssey"
2000-08-26 until 2000-11-02
Fort Wayne Museum of Art
Fort Wayne, IN, USA United States of America

From young rodeo riders to family living out of a car, this exhibition of photographs represent the artist’s personal vision of what it means to be American. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny, occasionally shocking and bizarre, Mark’s work seeks the essence, the true nature of our lives, and looks for the common thread that binds us all.

Aperture, a not-for-profit organization devoted to photography and the visual arts, has organized this traveling exhibition and produced the accompanying publications. Aperture gratefully acknowledges the generous support of Mary Ellen Mark: American Odyssey from Annette & Jack Friedland, Lynne & Harold Honickman and Marion Boulton Stroud. Additional support provided by Buhl Foundation, New York, and Sondra Gilman & Celso Gonzalez-Falla.
