In the early 1990s the North Dakota Museum of Art commissioned Klett to photograph images of shields as they appear in rock art throughout the Western United States. Klett traveled from Montana to Arizona and New Mexico to create this body of work.

He joined the faculty at Arizona State in 1982 where he was honored as Regents’ Professor of Art (Photography) in August, 2002.

Galleries such as the Cleveland Art Museum, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others, have mounted his one-person exhibitions.
