Marion Faller (1941-2014)

This photograph was exhibited in Remarkable Artifacts: Folk and Popular Art in Western New York, presented at the Burchfield Art Center from January 26 through March 9, 1989. It was from a series of Marion Faller's photographs that document "large and unmoveable folk art sites" including hand-painted signs and sculpture for restaurants, stores, car wash sites, and other places.

In late 2012, Marion Faller donated 199 of her photographs and photograph-based artworks to the Burchfield Penney Art Center, a gift so comprehensive that it meant the museum would serve as one of the primary institutions of record for her photography. This extraordinary gift was comprised of gelatin silver prints, color print collages, Ektacolor and chromogenic color prints, and archival inkjet prints dating from 1971 through 2005.
