[Exhibition] Work Prints: Eric Lindbloom’s Panoramas of the Hudson Valley

During his lifetime, Eric made many photographs of the region where he lived. Some of them have appeared in print; others have not. In 2019, Vassar’s Archives and Special Collections Library acquired a collection of twenty-eight of Eric’s Hudson Valley panoramas, along with some contact sheets and negatives. These images provided a strong basis for understanding Eric’s work in this area. In 2021 the Library acquired all of the Hudson Valley images he produced. This will extend our understanding of Eric’s work and will provide important documentation of nature and landscapes around us.

In order to celebrate this important acquisition, the Library mounted an online exhibition and issued a print equivalent. The exhibition is guest-curated by Sasha Louis Bush, a visual artist who worked closely with Eric. The exhibition features a selection of Hudson Valley photographs and a curatorial essay by Sasha Louis Bush.
