Edward Burtynsky London retrospective at Saatchi Gallery & accompanying monograph
February 14, 2024
Edward Burtynsky’s largest and most comprehensive retrospective survey exhibition to date is on view from February 14 through May 6, 2024, at the Saatchi Gallery in London. Extraction / Abstraction delves into the key subjects and signature images spanning his 45-year career. Alongside Burtynsky’s compelling photographs, the accompanying exhibition monograph features texts by celebrated art historian Simon Schama, who examines Burtynsky’s work in light of the question, “Can art help save the world?”, and curator Marc Mayer, former director of the National Gallery of Canada, who provides an overview of the photographer’s achievements as a technician, journalist, and artist.
