Lead Sponsorship provided by the Carol Franc Buck Foundation. Major Sponsorship provided by The Phil and Jennifer Satre Family Fund of the Community Foundation of Western Nevada. Additional Support provided by Barrick Gold of North America, Kathie Bartlett, Mark E Pollack Foundation, and Lance and Karyn Tendler.

Edward Burtynsky: Oil is an examination of one of

the most important natural resources of our time

by one of the most respected and recognized

contemporary photographers in the world. Over

15 years, Burtynsky traveled internationally to

chronicle the production, distribution, and use of

this critical fuel. In addition to revealing the rarely

seen mechanics of its manufacture, he photographs

the e�ects of oil on our lives, depicting landscapes

altered by its extraction from the Earth and by the

sprawl generated around its use. These images tell

an epic story of mankind expressed through our

discovery, exploitation, and celebration of this vital

natural resource.

June 9 - September 23EDWARD BURTYNSKY OIL

Edward Burtynsky: Oil is organized by the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and made possible with the generous support of the Scotiabank Group.
