New From Photographer Larry Sultan- The Valley

Guy Hepner Contemporary has recently added Larry Sultan's newest collection, The Valley, to his ever expanding collection of contemporary photography. In this collection, Sultan creates a photographic investigation of the homes used as pornographic filming sets. He first took notice of this trend during an editorial assignment in 1999, and since then turned his focus to the surround architecture and the backstage events of the actors and crew, rather than the actual acts of sex. This look and interpretation of the pornographic world is a completely new and innovative look, that no other artist has ever captured into one collection.

Currently he is professor of art at the California College of Arts and Crafts, while he continues to create his own collections of work.
