Art in Residence features portraits of eighty influential West Coast artists, including Ansel Adams, Cole Weston, Eleanor Antin, Jock Sturges, Robert Arneson, Judy Chicago, and more. Each portrait is accompanied by a brief statment from the artist and captures the artist in his or her work space. The photographs are more than stunning portraits - the intense intimacy of Fishback's style, as well as his personal relationships with his subjects, make each one an eloquent visual biography.

Kurt Edward Fishback, son of photographer Glen Fishback and godson of photographer Edward Weston, grew up as part of the photographic community in Northern California during the 1940s and ‘50s. Mentors and friends of his family included Ansel Adams, Edna Bullock, Joseph Meunch, and Ruth Bernhard. Despite his immersion in the world of photography, Fishback began his artistic career studying ceramic sculpture at Sacramento City College in 1961. He first began to experiment with photography in 1962 as a way to document his experiences with other sculptors, but it was not until 1973, when his father invited him to teach at the Glen Fishback School of Photography, that photography became Kurt Fishback’s primary mode of expression.
Kurt continues to teach photography while maintaining his own artistic career. He has contributed work to various charitable organizations, and his articles have appeared in such publications as Camera and Darkroom, Photo Techniques, and Lenswork Quarterly. His first major, one-person exhibit was held at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1982. He is currently represented by Roslyn Special Editions in Roslyn, Washington; the Photographer’s Gallery in Palo Alto, California; the Camera Obscura Gallery in Denver, Colorado; and by the Solomon Dubnick Gallery in Sacramento, California. He lives in Sacramento with his wife, Joan, who collected the short narratives and statements that accompany the photographs in his first book, Art in Residence.
