William Christenberry: Site/Possession

For more than four decades, William Christenberry has explored the regional identity of the American South, focusing on his hometown area around Hale County, Alabama. Beginning in November 2008, visitors to the Asheville Art Museum will have the unique opportunity to see the drawings that Christenberry calls the basis and inspiration of all his other work. Christenberry is frequently the subject of national acclaim for his photographs of rural Alabama, but this exhibition offers the chance to experience a more complete representation of his life and work.
