Hardback
- Information
Description
In Ranch Gates of the Southwest, Daniel Olsen and Henk van Assen present more than 100 full-color photographs of ranch gates taken across Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona.
From rugged and functional to stylized and adorned, ranches with names such as F.
V. Cuahope Ranch, High Lonesome, Felix River Ranch, and Rancho Quatro Hermanas reveal cultural history, landscape features, and individualism through language and design.
Lucy R. Lippard's introduction offers historical and cultural context of ranches and their gates.
Landscape architecture professor Kenneth I. Helphand explains the environmental history of ranches from land appropriation and naming to the impact of gates on the landscape.
In their own essays, Olsen and van Assen tell the behind-the-scenes story of making the book and describe type design and language from their perspectives as designers and photographers.
Ranch Gates of the Southwest is both a sumptuous documentary record and a tribute to a quintessentially American symbol.
