2012 | Circumstantial Evidence

In 1964, nine years after arriving to the United States and five years after opening his own architecture photography studio, Balthazar Korab was awarded the AIA Gold Medal for Excellence in Photography. He and his wife Monica decided to take their two children on a one-year sabbatical to Florence, Italy. This exhibition is drawn from his photographic portfolios from that year that bear witness to scenes of raw beauty, natural disaster, everyday urbanism, and the robust monumentality that composed the cultural and physical landscapes of Italy.
