David Plowden: The Architecture of Agriculture EXHIBIT

The Grohmann Museum once again showcases the photography of David Plowden in honor of the artist's 90th birthday. But instead of Plowden's trademark work featuring railroads, bridges, and heavy industry, this exhibition looks at feed mills, grain elevators, barns, and the human impact on the landscape of the Midwest and Great Plains. Over fifty years of photography is distilled in this collection of vanishing views of America's past. As with much of Plowden's work, many of the scenes captured are no more, existing only on film, in memory, or in scattered remains across the rural countryside.
