Wednesday, January 25, at 6:15 PM, Fine Arts Photographer Robert Hansen will share insights from his eight years of travel throughout the Yucatán Peninsula, exploring and photographing the Mayan Culture. His photographs and book will be on display and available for purchase during this show. This event will be held at the Art Expressions Gallery, 2645 Financial Court, Suite C, San Diego, CA. The exhibition continues through Saturday, February 25, 2012, and also features the unique pottery of Mata Ortiz, Mexico.

From July 3 to August 31, Robert Hansen will be exhibiting his fine art prints at the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts, voted "one the the top ten art festivals in America" by American Style magazine. 2011 marks Robert's 33rd consecutive year as an exhibitor; this year he presents a series of images made over 30 years photographing The Trolley Museum in Perris, California. In his words, "The metamorphosis of aging textures revealed by soft lighting, organic transformation and muted color reveal a melancholy beauty." For more information see the Festival of Arts web site.

Images from Robert Hansen's book, Trolley, were recently shown at the West Coast Art and Frame Show in Las Vegas. Part of the Poems Art Publishing display, several of them have been published as decorative posters by the same company. The posters may be purchased from the Poems Art website

Robert Hansen's luxurious portfolio of Wallace Neff's architecture was debuted a year ago at the Huntington Library; it is now available for online purchase for the first time. Also available is a smaller, moderately-priced sibling edition, which is also signed by Wallace Neff, Jr.

The book includes letters from celebrities, historical documents and architectural comments from Alson Clark as well as reproductions from over 70 architectural renderings of Neff's original designs. Please see the book page for details.

After 20 years in San Juan Capistrano, the Center Gallery (photo at left) has moved to Laguna Niguel and has been renamed the R.A. Hansen Gallery.

The philosophy of the Gallery is to represent the photography collection of Robert Hansen, including not only his own fine art images but also original works by Jeff Francis, Ray McSavaney, Bruce Barnbaum, Craig Richards, Reed Thomas, Jerry Uelsmann, and Luis Gonzales Palma.
