Edward Burtynsky: Earth Observed
November 18, 2022 - April 16, 2023
Edward Burtynsky’s astonishing photographs depict, in large scale, our human impact on the planet—an endeavor that has led him across North America and around the world, and that has resulted in some of the most iconic, beautiful, and unsettling images of our times.
The artist’s largest retrospective in the Northeast, Edward Burtynsky: Earth Observed comprises examples from nearly every series of Burtynsky’s output from the 1980s to today, including Mines, Quarries, Shipbreaking, China, Oil, Water, and Anthropocene. The exhibition will explore the legacy of landscape art in America, as well as the role of photography in environmental advocacy.
Plan a holiday visit with friends and family to see this inspiring show.

Not being a quitter by nature, I mostly feared losing my artistic ability. Art had always served as the glue that held me together. It was my identity. I was familiar with health struggles of famous artists through teaching. From Frida Kahlo, and Henri Matisse to the ever suffering Van Gogh, and the more modern Chuck Close; the arts possess healing powers. I unconsciously started to utilize my left hand.
