Craig Varjabedian: National Cowboy Museum

The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum features a solo exhibition by Santa Fe Artist Craig Varjabedian (BFA 1979). 

Ghost Ranch and the Faraway Nearby will open on Friday, Sept. 23 at 4:30 p.m. with a reception followed by a book signing at 6:30p.m. The reception is free and open to the public and the works will on display through Jan. 8, 2012. At the heart of the Northern New Mexico’s legendary Ghost Ranch, known as the longtime home of the 20^th-century painter Georgia O’Keeffe, Varjabedian has captured the beauty and mystique of the thousands of acres in this nationally acclaimed black and white photography exhibit. This traveling exhibition of images taken at Ghost Ranch over a period of several years reaches beyond the familiar ideas associated with the place — into the artist’s unique vision of his subject’s relationship to the surrounding earth and its inhabitants. Varjabedian is widely acclaimed for his images capturing the American West, taken over a photographic career of more than 35 years. An in-depth look into his artist perspective can be found in his companion book to the exhibition, Ghost Ranch and the Faraway Nearby. Several other events are planned throughout the exhibit, including a photography workshop Oct. 14 – 16, 2011.
