At Howard Greenberg Gallery, new large-scale photographs from Burtynsky’s 2016 Salt Pans series, which debuted at Art Basel, will be shown in the main space. The work was made in India at a barren, salt-producing area in Gujarat, where thousands of families toil in the hot, flat, dry wasteland with little access to fresh water, schools, or medical help. Spread over nearly 2,000 square miles, the area is also known as “Survey Number Zero,” because no land survey has been conducted there since the end of the British rule in India in 1947. From his unique vantage point above this pitiless place, Burtynsky captured the shapes, patterns, and colors of the land and the shallow artificial ponds from which salt has been harvested for many centuries.

Howard Greenberg Gallery is located at 41 East 57th Street, Suite 1406, New York.

Location: New York, New York City, United States Type: Exhibition
