The Estate of American Artist William Christenberry

William Christenberry Jr. was an American photographer, painter, sculptor, and teacher. Christenberry focused extensively on architecture, abandoned structures, nature, and extensively studied the psychology and effects of place and memory. He is best known for his haunting compositions of landscapes, signs, and abandoned buildings in his home state. Christenberry is also considered a pioneer of colored photography as an art form; he was especially encouraged in the medium by the likes of Walker Evans and William Eggleston.

William Christenberry’s photography was the subject of the 2006-2007 exhibition “Passing Time: The Art of William Christenberry” at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.
