Description

Guggenheim Award winning photographer Stanley Greenberg has long entranced viewers with his stunning blackandwhite photographs that provide unparalleled access to objects and places that most might otherwise never see.

Reviews

"To the observer, these machines attempting to delve the secrets of the universe have more in common with the monolith in '2001' than they do with any sort of factory or other industrial-era facility. . . . The beauty of such machines owes much to design--their cleanliness and wondrous functionality. It owes even more to the sense of mystery that surrounds them. In his book, Time Machines, the photographer Stanley Greenberg goes at least some way in lessening their mystery--and, if anything, enhancing their beauty. A contemporary Sheeler on an epic scale, he traveled 80,000 miles to photograph scientific facilities on five continents. The results are alternately astonishing and astonishingly mundane."
