There is also another San Francisco Stereo Show. If you arePlanning to be in or
around San Francisco this summer? Check out
the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). A major
exhibition explores the work of visionary 19th Century San
Francisco photographer Carleton Watkins.

Watkins, considered by many the finest American landscape
photographer. ‘Carleton Watkins: The Art of Perception’ will be on
view from May 28 through September 7.
The exhibition presents over 150 photographs by Watkins, culled
from institutional, corporate and private collections across North
America. In addition to Watkins’ large format prints, the exhibition
will include several immerse panorama pictures, works made of
large prints placed side by side to orchestrate a vast visual sweep of
terrain. Also, many stereo views will be displayed in the exhibition
not only in stereoscopes, but in an interactive computer database.

Watkins made more images in stereo than in any other format. Original
stereo cards will be displayed. In an effort to optimize viewing conditions
for these images, a separate room will contain twelve computer viewing
stations, designed specifically for the exhibition. The viewing stations will
provide access to approximately 200 stereo cards by Watkins, organized
by year, subject matter and region. Using LCD glasses the museum visitor
will see the selected images in 3D.

The software interface was designed by StereoGraphics.  A lavish 228
page catalogue by Peter E. Palmquist will be available in paperback for
$34.95 and a clothbound edition will be $60.00. Visit the museum website:
www.sfmoma.org or call (415)357-4000 for more information. Open
daily (except Wednesdays) 10am - 6pm  (Thursdays until 9pm). $8.00 for
adults, Thursday evening are half price and the first Tuesday of each
month admission is free. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
is located at 151 Third Street (between Mission and Howard
streets) San Francisco, CA 94103

Following the premiere at SFMOMA, the exhibition will
travel to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (October
11,1999 - January 9, 2000) and the National Gallery of Art in
Washington, DC (February 6 - April 30, 2000).

Thanks for the time,
