SALEM, MA.- This summer the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) presents Imprints: Photographs by Mark Ruwedel –– 41 spectacular black-and-white and color images of dinosaur tracks and ancient human footpaths. The subject of a major book published by Yale University Press and showing now at the Tate Modern in London, Ruwedel’s work is as visually striking as it is conceptually rich, building on concerns raised by “New Topographics” photographers such as Robert Adams, and resonating strongly with artists such as Richard Long and Hamish Fulton.“ For anyone who loves photography, Ruwedel’s photographs are not to be missed. He is the sort of photographer other photographers watch,” said Phillip Prodger, PEM Curator of Photography. “The richness and beauty of his prints commands attention from the start but their jewel-like detail invites repeated viewing. They get better every time you see them.” In
