The International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum is pleased to announce it will open its upcoming exhibition on Thursday, June 19, 2014:On view through September 28, 2014.
From people watching to storytelling, Portrait/Process appeals to the voyeur in all of us while exploring the various genres of photographic portraits.
The Portrait/Process exhibition examines approaches in contemporary photography, and provides a historical perspective on the portrait from the daguerreotype to the smartphone.
The exhibition is divided into sections exploring the various portrait forms such as the environmental portrait, the self-portrait, the vernacular portrait and the historical portrait. The photographs illustrate how various processes facilitate the intent, concept, and expression of the artist.
In addition to the works by contemporary American artists and photographers, the exhibition includes iconic images from several area collections and the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum’s collection, as well as an amazing selection of daguerreotypes from a single St. Louis collector. The Portrait/Process exhibition was curated by Ellen Curlee.
The Opening Reception for the Portrait/Process exhibition will take place on Thursday evening, June 19, 2014 from 6:00 until 9:00 pm. This reception is free and open to the public.
