Panorama of San Francisco, from California Street Hill, 1990
San Francisco, Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco, 1990. eight gelatin silver prints (of 13), each flush-mounted, edition number 20/50, signed by the artist and edition number in pencil on the colophon page, each in excellent condition, each framed.
In 1878 Eadweard Muybridge climbed with his cumbersome wooden view camera to the top of California Street in San Francisco to make a 360-degree panorama of the city. In 1990 Mark Klett revisited the idea with Panorama of San Francisco. Klett's goal was to match Muybridge's photographs-something no longer possible in 1990 from the same spot because of the skyline created during the century spanning the two projects. (9)
