About the Item

This original black and white photograph by Harold E. Malde captures a striking and historically significant view of Kin Klizhin, a Chacoan great house constructed in the 1080s in what is now the American Southwest. Rendered with clarity and tonal depth, the composition emphasizes the monumental geometry and enduring presence of this ancient architectural site. Kin Klizhin was an important outlier community within the Chaco Canyon cultural system, and during its period of use, it functioned as a vital civic and ceremonial center for surrounding Indigenous communities. Malde’s photograph thoughtfully documents the site’s spatial relationships and textural surfaces, offering both an artistic and archaeological perspective on this remarkable example of ancestral Puebloan architecture. The image is presented in classic black and white, enhancing the sense of timelessness and drawing attention to light, shadow, and form. The photograph is signed by the artist in the lower right and titled on the reverse, confirming its authenticity and provenance. Professionally presented in a new custom frame, the work is finished with an 8-ply mat and UV70 protectant glass, ensuring museum-quality preservation and display. This piece will appeal to collectors of fine art photography, Southwestern history, Indigenous cultural sites, and architectural documentation.
