American (United States)

Mark Klett photographs “the intersection of cultures, landscapes, and  time.” He has extensively photographed the American West, frequently  exploring the relationships of places to their history. Klett, along with  Ellen Manchester and JoAnn Verburg, was one of the creators of the  Rephotographic Survey Project of 1977–79, in which contemporary  photographers located and then shot new images from the vantage points  used by William Henry Jackson and others who photographed the west as  part of the land surveys of the 19th-century. He has published 13 books and  his work is held in the collection of museums across the world. He is  currently a professor of art at Arizona State University.
