Rodney Lough Jr.

to Open San Francisco’s Largest Art Gallery

The new Rodney Lough Jr. gallery in San Francisco is currently under constructio
n and attracting the attention of tourists and locals alike as they await the gr
and opening this summer.
San Francisco, CA, May 20, 2011 -- Rodney Lough Jr., the world-renowned Master L
andscape Photographer from Portland, Oregon, is currently designing the largest
single artist gallery in the world. Sure to become a new landmark of San Francis
co, the new Wilderness Collections Gallery, is under construction in the former
GAP building, located on the corner of One Jefferson and Powell Streets on the E
mbarcadero. Slated to open this July, the gallery will solely feature the fine a
rt photography of Rodney Lough Jr.
In addition to the new San Francisco location, Rodney Lough Jr. is the proprieto
r of three other fine art photography galleries in the United States – one in Las
Vegas, Park City and Sausalito. Similar to his Las Vegas gallery, the new San Fr
ancisco gallery (referred to as “One Jefferson”) is being designed with the environm
ent as top priority. The floors are made from 100% reclaimed wood from century o
ld barns and the rest of the wood is derived from sustainable forest management
programs. The use of sustainable sourced natural materials throughout the constr
uction of this monumental gallery serves to highlight the artwork itself and sym
bolizes the need to preserve these beautiful locations for future generations of
enjoyment.
The most notable feature of this new landmark gallery is the 30 ft. tall towerin
g cedar trees in the atrium. Many tourists and San Francisco residents alike wat
ched with curious eyes and mouths agape earlier this month when the giant monoli
thic trees were
craned in and installed into the building. It took crews a relatively short amou
nt of time to get the massive trees in place but was quite the sight to see. The
gallery’s environmental design creates the perfect natural medium to display the
artist’s large- format photographs of Earth’s most beautiful and awe-inspiring lands
capes. Once completed, visitors will be able to sit back, relax and take in the
view, after all its like seeing the best of the best from all the National Parks
at once.
