Did You Know?

William Clift, born and raised in Boston, has lived and worked in New Mexico since 1971.

Description

Shiprock, a barren, isolated peak rising 1,583 feet above the New Mexico desert, has been one of Clift’s major subjects. It is governed by the Navaho Nation. Shiprock is one of two monolithic sites that Clift has photographed repeatedly over four decades. The other is Mont-Saint-Michel, a tidal island in France capped by a medieval abbey (see 2025.265). Both sites are beautiful but also potentially dangerous.
