Robert von Sternberg (Glendale, California 1939; lives and works in Malibu) Arlanda Airport, Stockholm, 2010 Archival inkjet print 13 x 19 inches Knoxville Museum of Art, 2017 gift of the artist Veteran photographer Robert von Sternberg's primary interest is depicting Southern California's suburban sprawl and other effects of the postwar population explosion. Despite this focus, his images are generally devoid of any traces of human activity. Instead, he photographs public places and roadside attractions after hours when no trace of human life is visible. Whether the incandescent glow of a gas station or shimmering strands of string lights against the night sky, the interplay of natural and artificial light remains central to his work. |
