We are proud to present the first complete exhibit of Michael Burns' (American, 1942) series of architectural photographs of downtown Seattle, shot from 1978 - 1980. 

In all, there are over seventy original photographs: all titled, dated, hand-spotted and signed by Michael. Each one is a monument to the best of the city, featuring some of the most important architectural compositions from the period, and animated by what Michael called
"...that subtle and persuasive resonance with the instant, the light, framing, meaning and configuration."

Burns' work has been exhibited internationally by institutions from the MET in New York to the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. He has been the subject of solo exhibitions at SAM and the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago.

Available exclusively in-store is a portfolio series of ten silver gelatin contact prints, mounted on acid-free museum board, titled "Studio Views", which itself showed at Linda Farris Gallery until 1995.

Photographs are available for purchase at the link below.
