DescriptionThree separate prints showing the construction on the back of a movie set.eMuseum Notes
Taken
in Galisteo, New Mexico, this picture was made on the movie set for the Hollywood Western
“Silverado.” Instead of photographing the front of the set -- the façade
created for viewers -- the artist concentrates on the construction on the back
side, where a dynamic network of struts supports the illusion.
