Windows: Photographs from the Collection

John Pultz, curator

North Balcony, Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas

The three-dozen photographs in this installation take the metaphor of photographs as windows on the world and make it literal by having as their subjects actual windows. This survey of various photography styles and methods offers both expanded perspectives and glimpses into other environments.
