Victoria Sambunaris Untitled, (canyon river view), 2023 Archival inkjet print Edition: 1 20 x 24 inches Courtesy of the artist   Estimated value: $3,500 Starting bid: $2,500   Victoria Sambunaris (American, b. 1964) Victoria Sambunaris creates largescale photographs that investigate the intersection of the natural and the manmade within the American landscape. The vast and sprawling locations she chooses oscillate between places of total wilderness and environments clearly marked by human political, technological, and industrial intervention. In the language of geography, environment, politics, and culture, Samburnaris’s photographs question traditional and mythic notions of landscape, our place within it, and how and why we shape it the way we do. Victoria Sambunaris received a BA from Mount Vernon College (1986) and an MFA from Yale University School of Art (1999). Her work has been widely exhibited and is in the permanent collections of Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Galle
