Solo show at the New Britain Museum of American Art

Fritz Horstman: Valleys and Blue Light will run from Sept 6, 2024 through March 30, 2025 at the New Britain Museum of American Art in New Britain, Connecticut. The exhibition comprises 13 Folded Cyanotypes and 4 U-Shaped Valley sculptures. A book of my Folded Cyanotypes with texts from Lisa Hayes Williams and Vincent Broqua has been co-published by the Museum, Municipal Bonds, and Planthouse Gallery.

The book will be available through all three co-publishers or directly from me.
