The American photographer Ansel Adams (1902–1984) is one of the most celebrated and famous landscape photographers in the whole world. His pictures are known and loved for their immediate poetry and magnificent natural beauty.

Ansel Adams – Photographs presents more than 70 original photographs, all personally selected by the artist himself. Ranging over a period of four decades, the exhibition gives a full impression of the development of Adams’ production, from the first, spontaneous landscape pictures from 1921 to the large, composed natural scenes for which Adams later became known.

Apart from his career as an artist, Ansel Adams was known throughout his life as a great advocate of nature conservation and the protection of its original environment. In the light of present-day climate issues, his work seems more relevant than ever.

Under the title ‘Art and Climate’, Gl Holtegaard is presenting this autumn a series of lectures that will feature presentations by artists, researchers and cultural figures.
