Bill Owens (American, b. 1938)

Born in San Jose, California, Owens is best known as a documentarian of the suburban areas, largely of a middle-class nature, that became heavily populated after WWII.  He volunteered and served in the Peace Corps before beginning his career in photography, first working for a local paper and then finding his own subjects of interest.  He is the recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship (1976) and has also received two National Endowment for the Arts grants.  His works are highly sought after and are found in numerous important private collections as well as public collections such as the Getty Museum, Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, National Museum of American Art, Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, and the Smithsonian Museum of American Art to name a few.
