Larry Sultan was a Photographer Professor at the California College of the Arts from 1988 to 2009 and a member of the SFMOMA Board of Trustees. Sultan first visited the museum in 1970 while he was deciding on whether or not to attend the San Francisco Art Institute. He sold his first work to the museum for fifteen dollars in 1972 from his graduate seminar. Sultan's first breakthrough with the museum was the "Pleasures and Terrors of Domestic Comfort" exhibition and he went on to do various other traveling shows and group exhibits after. He also dabbled in public art with a billboard titled "Photography in California" which was based on what Sultan had done prior to professional photography. He was also the recipient of the Bay Area Treasure Award presented by SFMOMA in 2004. In this interview, Sultan discusses his first visit to the museum, curator John Humphrey, photography in museums in the 1970s, Bay Area art community, “Evidence” exhibition, Van Deren Coke, conceptual photography, gallery representation, lack of market, definition of a successful career, and his SF and LA roots and experiences.
