Suburbia, first published in 1972, was a slyly subversive look at an inward-looking middle class, who in their own words accompanying the photographs, were seemingly oblivious to the racial and cultural strife roiling America’s cities, not to mention the Vietnam War half a world away. Bill Owens was born and raised on a farm in Northern California. After hitchhiking around the world and a stint in the Peace Corps, he became a staff photographer for the Livermore Independent newspaper in 1968. This exhibition has been organized by art2art Circulating Exhibitions, artworks courtesy of the Collection of Michael Mattis and Judith Hochberg.
