Somewhere in the West

Continuing my month long series of posts with images made in New Mexico with the Great Divide as my focus or jumping off point: a few images from the dusty town of Quemado, New Mexico.

We see the Sacred Heart Catholic Church (with what appear to be a facsimile of Michelangelo's Pietà, from St. Peters, in a small shelter out-of-doors), the local post office, and the office building from where Walter de Maria's Lightning Field is administered by the DIA Art Foundation. Visiting this famous earthwork from 1977 is on my bucket list, but always seems to be outside of my shooting schedule.

Five images by Richard Koenig; taken April 5th 2026.

"Walter De Maria: Surface Waves" at the SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, opens this Saturday, May 27. In "Walter De Maria: Surface Waves," the Bay Area native makes his SFMOMA debut with his first sculpture to enter the museum’s collection, an arresting floor piece known as "Large Rod Series: Circle/Rectangle, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13" (1986). Consisting of massive, precisely honed polygonal rods polished to a shine so lustrous that they appear liquid, the work can be shown in three distinct configurations, all of which will be presented during the course of the exhibition.
