Open through February 10 at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Getty Center in Los Angeles, Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings is the first major international survey of the photographs of Sally Mann, an artist known for her evocative and haunting images of her family and the American South.
Born in 1951 in Lexington, Virginia, Mann’s work has often been at the center of controversy. Her most famous images from Immediate Family, a series first exhibited in 1990, show her three children nude, playing at Mann’s family’s remote summer cabin in Virginia. The images, while they have many critics, have since become iconic. Mann’s other subjects include the landscapes of the American South captured using photographic techniques popular on Civil War battefields; the numerous 19th century African American churches near her hometown; and her own body, injured, after a serious riding accident.
The exhibition includes 110 images, may of them exhibited for the first time. After it closes at the J. Pau Getty Museum, it will travel to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, where it will be open from March 3 until May 27. This summer, it will be exhibited at the Jeu de Paume in Paris before closing at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
