This ongoing exhibition celebrates the diverse perspectives artists have brought to the medium of photography, featuring a varied presentation of works from the Museum’s holdings.
The latest selection of photographs, on view through spring 2025, focuses on music, from community bands to Tina Turner. Works by Ernest Withers offer a glimpse of the vibrant Memphis music scene of the 1950s and 1960s, while Henry Horenstein captures country music performers and fans alike. With works by seven artists that range across five decades, this installation attests to music’s power to offer us joy, community, and catharsis.
Henry Horenstein (American, b. 1947), Don Stover at Home, Billerica, Massachusetts, from the Honky Tonk series, 1972, printed later, gelatin silver print. Gift of Jon and Nicky Ungar, 2020.
