Travel photographs taken by Richard Diebenkorn from trip to Santa Cruz Island, 1966
Richard Diebenkorn traveled to Santa Cruz Island, one of the California Channel Islands off the coast of Santa Barbara, thirty-seven times throughout his lifetime. The family of Diebenkorn's college friend Carey Stanton purchased nine-tenths of the island in 1937, and Stanton moved there permanently in 1957.
Diebenkorn traveled to what he referred to as "Carey's Island" almost every year, sometimes twice, from 1958 until Stanton's death in 1988. He was frequently joined by his wife Phyllis and their children, celebrating the occasional holiday or birthday. The Santa Cruz Island Foundation's book Richard Diebenkorn and Carey Stanton: A Private Collection offers a personal account of the two men's friendship and the presence of the island in the Diebenkorns' lives. Also, read our From the Basement feature "Meeting Santa Cruz Island" under the Archives menu bar on diebenkorn.org.
