ROBERT OSBORN RETROSPECTIVE
Livingston Art Center, Livingston, Montana, July 2010
Russ Levin, Levin Gallery of Fine Art Photography, Monterey, California: "Robert Osborn's style and diversity are, simply put, incredible. His print quality is some of the best you will ever see...in the same league as Ansel Adams and John Sexton."

These singular images have been selected by the artist from his more than forty years of photographing throughout the U.S. and Europe. The show will be organized into three periods of his photography: Recent Work, The Large Format Years, and The BMX Years which will include approximately fifteen BMX and freestyle images from the seventies and eighties when he was considered the leading photographer of the two sports.
The photographs will be available for sale.
