Opening Reception May 30th, 7pm–9pm

Richard Sexton, Outer Sunset 1977–1978, Presented by Pamplemousse Magazine

The exhibition will be on view at both Black Bird & The Last Straw May 23rd - July 7th. 

This historic work was Sexton’s first serious color photography project while studying at the San Francisco Art Institute in the late 1970s. Shot on Kodachome and Ektachrome color transparency film with a Leica M4 camera, Sexton captures one of San Francisco’s most beloved Western neighborhoods at a very unique moment in time. 

This is the first time the images have been presented publicly since a brief mini exhibition at the Ciné Cafe at the Surf Theater in 1979. This is an incredible opportunity to remember the neighborhood as it was, or experience the Sunset as you’ve never seen it before.

Richard Sexton is a New Orleans-based photographer, author and book packager whose work has been previously featured in magazines such as Abitare, Archetype, Historic Preservation, Louisiana Cultural Vistas, Photographer’s Forum and Smithsonian. In 2014 he received the Michael P. Smith Award for Documentary Photography from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. His work is included in the permanent holdings of the Historic New Orleans Collection, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Frost Art Museum, High Museum of Art, Princeton University Art Museum, among others.
