MAIN STRƎƎT: The Lost Dream of Route 66 Photographs by Edward KeatingThrough May 30, 2025
Route 66, Edward Keating
MAIN STRƎƎT: The Lost Dream of Route 66, is an exhibition of photographs by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Edward Keating. The exhibition is accompanied by Keating’s eponymous book of 84 photographs (Damiani, 2018).
MAIN STRƎƎT: is the result of 11 years of travel along Route 66 — the 2,400-mile stretch between Chicago and Santa Monica. Called the “mother road” in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, Route 66 has inspired countless artists and writers, including Andy Warhol and Jack Kerouac. Following the path of migrant farmers and others, Keating has ventured westward and back along Route 66, documenting the lives of Americans along the way. Keating approaches the route as both a journalist and memoirist. His photographs bring attention to the lives and myths scattered along the stretch of Route 66 and serve as a metaphor for the deterioration of middle-class America. For New York Times journalist Charles LeDuff, “This book is about those who traveled its length and those who settled along the way, wherever their bones and their broken cars dropped them.” His book is also personal mythology, constructed from the artist’s recollections of the road: Keating's mother grew up in Saint Louis along Route 66 where her father owned the city’s first Ford dealership. In his early 20s, he embarked on a cross-country trip on Route 66, but found himself, rock-bottom, in a broken-down motel in Flagstaff, Arizona. In 2000, he returned to Route 66 as a New York Times staff photographer, traversing all 2,400 miles in three weeks. The book is a milestone for an artist who has spent a life wandering along the main streets and back roads of America’s most mythic highway Edward Keating had served as a photojournalist for nearly 40 years for such publications as the New York Times, New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, and Time Magazine. In 2001, Keating received the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography, as well as the John Faber Award for International Reporting, Overseas Press Club, for his series of photographs on the September 11 attacks. He additionally shared the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting with New York Times staff for the series, “How Race is Lived in America,” and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for the 1997 series “Vows,” co-authored with Lois Smith Brady. In 2003, Keating joined Contact Press Images photography agency. MAIN STREET was Keating’s sixth monograph. Tragically, Keating died of cancer in Sept 2021, contracted as a result of his long exposure to toxic materials at Ground Zero in the days after 9/11. He was 65 |

FORMED IN FIRE

FORMED IN FIRE features the work of five extraordinary Contemporary Ceramic and Bronze Artists: Greta Ruiz, Kellogg Johnson,, Antony Corso, Tom Sather, Todd K. Fox, Wanema Garcia, and Michael Stanton with a Trunk Show of one-of-a-kind necklaces by local jewelry designer, Tamara Hill
Greta Ruiz, wood-fired ceramic sculpture
Greta Ruiz is a native New Mexican, who has been working in clay since 1980, with a passion for developing her integrated methods of combining texture, color, and shape into varied and striking organic forms. She has studied in both California and Japan, where she was particularly influenced by that country’s refined tastes and aesthetics.
Greta has developed her unique approach to the hand-building and coiling processes that are exhibited in her wood-fired vessels, with their layered slips of ash glazes which create the effect of subtly-hued and weathered ancient patinas.
Kellogg Johnson, Raku-fired ceramic and metal sculpture
Kellogg Johnson’s longtime interest in sculpture led him to create vessels in both ceramic and metal, which he considers as ‘archaeological containers”— contrasting their sleek streamlined forms and sensuous patinated surfaces with the modern technology of casting bronze and steel.
The materials he utilizes for his designs combine and express the essential elements of the natural world: fire, air, water, and earth.
Wanema F. Garcia, Contemporary Acoma pottery, in collaboration with Michael Stanton
Wanema Garcia hails from the Pueblo of Acoma in New Mexico, the oldest community in the US. She is a third-generation potter, inspired by the creative legacy of her mother and grandmothers.
As a designer of both traditional ancient forms, Wanema has incorporated modern and graphic black-and-white fine-line patterning with colorful glazes. She has collaborated creatively with Michael Stanton, an experienced expert in fashioning functional wares using kiln firing. He currently teaches wheel throwing at Paseo Pottery in Santa Fe.
Tom Sather, Raku vessels
Tom Sather, a Soto-zen monk, creates unique, hand-formed Japanese-inspired ceramic vessels. He takes a meditative approach to his work, inspired by the Zen Buddhist concept of wabi-sabi, which emphasizes the beauty of imperfection and impermanence. This philosophy is reflected in the rustic, unglazed finish of his vessels, which showcase the raw beauty of the natural materials he works with.
Todd K. Fox, Raku and metal sculpture
Todd K. Fox is a native of Orlando, Florida, where he continues to reside and work on his whimsical sculptures, while also perfecting the art of Raku pottery, both of which he has been doing since an early age.
He is inspired by his study of African and Caribbean cultures -- evoking emotions and stories of love, joy, hope, and sorrow while referring to allegorical narratives and archetypal forms, which unite the past with the present.
Antony Corso, Bronze Sculpture
Antony Corso, a visionary painter and sculptor, draws inspiration from a century of modern art's relentless scrutiny of color and form. With a keen eye for innovation, he reconstructs and refines, sculpting a unique geometry that breathes life into his creations. Through his work, he continuously seeks fresh concepts and inventive solutions, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.
Corso was born and raised in New York City. He is a descendant of Bernhardt Lopatka, a 19th-century Russian master portrait painter and engraver who produced commissions for Russian and German nobility. His family were also Roman-Calabrian Italian poets and painters.
Tamara Hill Studio, “Jewelry Designs for the Spirit”
Tamara Hill is a multi-faceted artist, photographer, art historian, and teacher whose bold jewelry designs have also been shown in galleries, boutiques, and museum shops throughout the country. She recently relocated from San Francisco to Santa Fe but has been continually inspired by her international travels and collecting fascinating materials from the world’s exotic bazaars.
Tamara’s striking ‘one-of-a-kind’ necklaces utilize antique beads and pendants, ethnically inspired and sourced components, and talismans, incorporating contemporary style elements with fine hand-woven cording. Her work features a wide variety of semi-precious stones, rare minerals, shells, fossils & nature’s wonders — all repurposed into elegant and colorful “statement” pieces with an antique look that reflects and conveys the legacy and spirit of many cultures -- to be treasured as magical personal adornments.

Harvey Maisel, his first solo exhibition in Santa Fe, A Place Like No Other, opened Friday, September 10th, 2021. The show of black & white prints was a mystical journey through the iconic and surprising formations found in the New Mexico Badlands.
Maisel, who was formerly a NYC school teacher and a Senior Photo Lab Technician at Newsweek Magazine, charted a new lifestyle four years ago and moved to Santa Fe. Here he deepened his lifelong passion of hiking and photography, focusing on the Bisti Badlands, a part of the Navajo Nation in Northwest NM, along with seasoned Navajo guide and friend, Kialo Winters.
“Since moving here, I have made numerous visits to not only Bisti Badlands, but Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah and the Lybrook Fossil Area. I hope my images, not only delight my viewers, but trigger the emotions that I feel when I photograph these mysterious and awe-inspiring formations,” shares Maisel.
Lovers of nature and of photography will discover a world they’ve never imagined existed, right here in New Mexico!

CEREMONY: Coming of Age | Mescalero Apache Maidens
|
|
As an invited guest of the family, Jan Butchofsky was asked to witness the Coming of Age Ceremony of two maidens during two separate celebrations and was honored to bear witness with my camera to these sacred and very private preparations and ceremonies.
The Mescalero Apache people, descendants of the great warrior Geronimo, have a strong ceremonial tradition to initiate girls into womanhood. Considered one of the most sacred celebrations of the Mescalero, the four-day rite of passage for the maiden reflects the tribe’s way of life involving complete community commitment. Preparation for the Coming of Age Ceremony begins at least a year in advance with every detail meticulously carried out. Pollen from water plants is gathered for blessings, teepee poles are cut and canvas is sewn.
The maiden's dress is a very important part of the celebration, often made of deer hides harvested especially for the occasion. Dancers are arranged, most notably the dancers of the Mountain Gods, and a Medicine Man and Medicine Woman are selected. Cattle are raised and butchered so that elaborate feasts of traditional food can be served to all the guests every day of the ceremony.
The four-day maiden ceremony reflects the four days needed to create the world and the maiden embodies the virtues of the White Painted Woman, who gave the Apache’s their virtues, pleasant aspects of life and longevity. Many rituals and blessings are performed during the celebration, culminating in all-night dance, drumming and singing with the maiden and her attendants in the Ceremonial Tipi. At dawn, transformed, the maiden runs towards her future and the hopes of her community.

A CONTEMPORARY LOOK AT CHILDHOOD IN NEW MEXICO
OPENING RECEPTION SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 5 - 7PM
OCTOBER 4 - OCTOBER 31, 2019
THURSDAY - SUNDAY 11AM - 4PM
A Contemporary Look at Childhood in New Mexico is focused on the experience of growing up in New Mexico, and is reflective of our state’s own unique combination of cultural, physical, and historical characteristics. The exhibition considers the complex reality of contemporary childhood shaped by diverse cultures and set in the vast and varied New Mexican landscape. We asked our membership of professional photojournalists, commercial, editorial, and fine art photographers to search through their archives to show us images made over the last 20 years that best reflect their perceptions of childhood in New Mexico, either through observation or their own personal experiences.
The ASMP-NM member exhibition runs concurrently with The Once and Future Child: A Photographic History of Childhood in New Mexico, an exhibit curated by Searchlight New Mexico, that draws upon the earliest artifacts of photography in the state. A Contemporary Look at Childhood in New Mexico is also a part of CENTER’s Review Santa Fe Photo Festival, the annual internationally recognized juried portfolio review event. A percentage of the proceeds from the exhibition support the Child Counseling Center and Play Therapy Institute of New Mexico, an organization that aims to strengthen the innate creativity and resilience of children, families and communities in New Mexico through play therapy.

WESTERN AND WHIMSICAL ART OF ED LARSON Opening Reception: Friday, November 9, 5pm - 7 pm OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9 | 4-7PM ARTIST IN RESIDENCE NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 2018 Thursday - Saturday 4 pm - 7pm Edition ONE is delighted to invite our long-time friend, world-class folk-artist and raconteur, Ed Larson, for a one-man show in a gallery with even more history than his former stables up the road.
For two, glorious, probably cold, definitely colorful, months we will be showing Wonderful Ed’s Western Art and Whimsical Sculptures. Come inside to see Ed’s art, share some hot cider or cocoa, sit with Ed by a cracklin’ fire, and hear stories of the fascinating characters that have come through Ed’s 87 years of life - 30 of them spent here in Santa Fe, 20 of those 30 on Canyon Road. As part of the Santa Fe Artists in Residence you can catch Ed working in studio every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening from 4-7pm. |
Ed Larson was born in 1931 in Joplin, Missouri. He went to school there and then got swept up in the Korean War. He joined the Navy. He served on two ships in both the Sixth and Seventh Fleet, including a tanker called the USS Kankakee, this was a WW2 veteran that was built in 1936 for Esso, this ship was a home for trouble makers and problem sailors…Ed fit right in…After a year and half aboard the Kankakee he managed to go to Journalist School at Great Lakes and was assigned to a cruiser, the USS Bremerton. He got his first professional art job illustrating the cruise book for the USS Bremerton in Tokyo. After a twenty-year career in the Navy from 1950 to 1955 (“It just seemed like twenty years!”) he attended the “old” Art Center School on 33 West Third. Ed graduated from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles in 1958.
“Prepped’” for a career in Advertising, he left for NYC in the middle of a recession and wound up working in Philadelphia for the agency N.W. Ayer. Then he worked for several agencies in Chicago including the well-known Foote, Cone & Belding. He was a traveling art director for the next several years, with a spell of employment working for Marvin Glass. communication at the Art Institute was an up and down world during the “Days of Rage,” in Chicago. The Riots around the 68 Election happened right out in front of the Chicago Art Institute and this happening changed the attitudes of young people, especially students destined for a career in corporate America. It changed the world for Ed too. He began considering being a part of the back to land movement and began to insert his political viewpoint into his art.
Captured by the vitality of folk art work Ed began designing quilts and searching for quilters with whom to collaborate and quilt his designs. Subsequently Ed led workshops across the country where he taught quilters how to create their personal stories in picture quilts.
At this point, when a fire in a one block long building in Chicago destroyed much of Ed’s work, Ed decided to relocate to Santa Fe, New Mexico. His close friend LD Burke had made this change. Why not try the world of the Cinco Pintores and the Taos Art scene? Ed, a resident of Santa Fe now for 30 years, is a big part of that scene.
A master of mediums - painting, sculpture, wood carving, quilts - his works embody story, whimsy, and a point-of-view. An avid Western history buff, Ed loves to paint classic scenes of cowboys and horses in action. He has a large body of narrative paintings, some of homespun humor and heart, others about politics and celebrity from Billy the Kid to Abraham Lincoln, including paintings of his time in the Navy, bawdy nights in Paris, working the wheat harvest in Western Kansas, memories of his youth with Joe Beeler, Mickey Mantle, and scenes of Louis Armstrong performing in San Francisco.
He creates whirligigs and sculptures, using found objects and combining them with hand-carved forms: women, horses, birds, goats and bears and large fish, six to twelve feet in length…in memory of the large pike plugs he can recall seeing in his father’s tackle box.
One of Ed’s Quilt Collaborations was purchased by The Smithsonian, and he has produced a book called “Picture Quilts”. Ed Larson’s work has been featured in a number of exhibitions and is included in private, corporate and public collections around the country. Almost every piece tells a story – and Ed still has a lot to tell!

CHATTEL: A Portrait Study
Kevin Horan |
About Kevin Horan
The world around us pulses with living, throbbing, wanting, aware creatures.
After a move from city to country, my new neighbors--sheep--greeted me in a chorus of voices each time I returned home. Soprano, bass, raspy, soft, quick, slow: they were all different. It occurred to me these creatures were all individuals. Deep experience in making portraits of humans made me wonder if I could capture them as such. In their faces, I was looking not for animals who looked like people, but for non-human persons.
Treated as if they were customers of the small-town photo studio, they seem to have personalities. Perhaps they do, and the photograph allows us to see them. Or perhaps the language of the photo cues us to generate the impression of a personage.
When we make a portrait, what is it that we're seeing? Do the pictures here prove that the ungulates have personalities? This is a work about portraiture--what it does and how it works. These pictures ask for engagement of our own feelings about the souls within other beings, human or otherwise, and how visible they are from out here.
