To commemorate his tenure at Berkeley, an exhibition of the artist’s work was held at the Worth Ryder Art Gallery in February 2016. The advert for the exhibition notes: “Hartman is perhaps best known for photographic work that brought together his love of art and love of flying. A passionate pilot, he had a revelation in the 1980’s that the forms he observed in the landscape, especially the changes wrought by human activity, were related to the compositions he created in his paintings.”Estimate: $500—700
