ARTIST BIO
Blending staged and documentary elements, Larry Sultan used photography to construct uncanny fictions. He often drew from his mid-century upbringing in a San Fernando Valley suburb, imbuing his frames with a sense of both the mythological and the mundane; his great themes included domesticity, desire, family, and the American dream. Over the course of a decade, Sultan shot his acclaimed series “Pictures From Home” (1983–92), which captures his aging parents posed in his childhood home. He returned to the suburbs for later series such as “The Valley” (1997–2003), which focuses on the use of suburban homes in adult films, and “Homeland” (2006–09), for which he captured Mexican immigrants performing domestic tasks in the area. During his lifetime, Sultan exhibited widely around the world. He taught at California College of the Arts from 1989 until his 2009 death. His work belongs in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum für Moderne Kunst, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Stedelijk Museum, and Tate Modern.
