William Christenberry
Presenting for the first time this major body of paintings and constructions, The Early Years places Christenberry's work and his life in the South in significant new context. Nationally recognized as an artist, photographer, teacher, and arts advocate, William Christenberry has lived and worked in Washington, D.C., since 1968, when he became a professor of painting at the Corcoran Gallery School of Art. Although Christenberry is well known as a photographer and sculptor, relatively little has been known about his early paintings and his career in the South prior to 1968. Born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in 1936, Christenberry is closely identified with the culture and environment of his native ...

J. Richard Gruber's latest monograph on William Christenberry, explores the artist's work and how it relates to the cultural production of previous generations of Christenberrys. The book adds to the body of art historical texts, concerning itself not only with the work of William Christenberry but also with art from the American South and Southern American culture.

William Christenberry (Signed Edition)
Since the early 1960s, William Christenberry has plumbed the regional identity of the American South through his work in Hale County, Alabama, where he was raised. Although he is most often associated with--and recognized as a pioneer in--American color photography, he also works in an unorthodox mix of media that includes sculpture, drawing, painting and found-object assemblage. This comprehensive survey of his work considers all those practices together, and in doing so gives readers access to the full scope and complexity of his vision. In every medium, Christenberry's theme is unified: the history, the story of place, is at the heart of his project. His poetic documentation of vernacular...
