Series: Walk to the Rothko Chapel, 1977
File — Box: 1, Folder: 7
Scope and Contents
In the mid-1970s, Traube was in Houston, where he had friends and gallery representation and where he'd had a show at the Contemporary Arts Museum in 1977. On his first visit to the Rothko Chapel on the campus of the University of St. Thomas in Houston, he was struck by the shadows of trees on the sidewalk as he walked. He took his Rollei out and made a couple dozen photographs. This was the first, but not the last, of “gift” images that became series from encounters on walks or hikes.
