As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, EPSON is reflecting on the milestone 25th anniversary of the groundbreaking ‘America in Detail’ exhibition by acclaimed photographer Stephen Wilkes, which helped redefine what was possible in professional photographic printing. Created to capture the beauty and complexity of America at a unique moment in history, the exhibition gave audiences a new way to experience the country, and demonstrated how advances in digital imaging could expand the possibilities of fine art photography.
The landmark ‘America in Detail’ exhibitions were made possible by EPSON’s groundbreaking imaging technology, which 25 years ago helped lead the transition from the darkroom to digital workflows, stunning the industry with its breakthrough archival pigmented inks and MicroPiezo printhead technology. To commemorate this milestone anniversary, an “America in Detail” exhibition will be on display from Oct. 17-31 at the Holden Luntz Gallery in Palm Beach, Florida. The remarkable photographs captured 25 years ago will be printed with the latest generation of EPSON SureColor professional imaging printers. Professional photographers often cite the ‘America in Detail’ exhibitions as a turning point in photographic history from the traditional darkroom to the ubiquitous digital workflows used today. It celebrates both professional photographers and the enduring importance of the photographic print.
