Ansel Adams: Masterworks

Beet Street will collaborate with the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art to co-present the Ansel Adams: Masterworks exhibit, running from January 15 - March 15, 2011.

This is a traveling exhibition of photographs by legendary photographer Ansel Adams. The exhibition consists of forty-eight works from the Museum Set, a portfolio hand-selected by Adams to represent his best work.

The photographs presented in Ansel Adams: Masterworks reveal the importance Adams placed on the visual splendor of natural environments such as the Sierra Nevada, Yosemite Valley and New Mexico. Landmark photographs such as Monolith, the Face of Half Dome, Yosemite National Park, California, and Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico are included in the exhibition. It is through Adams's photographs that many Americans have come to know these places.
