Clyde Hare: A Memorial Exhibition at Concept Art Gallery Pittsburgh PA

Clyde Hare: A Memorial Exhibition

Please join us NEXT SATURDAY, June 12th, for the opening of our Clyde Hare Memorial Exhibition. The afternoon begins at 4pm with a lecture about Hare's work by Linda Benedict-Jones, Curator of Photography, Carnegie Museum of Art. A reception will follow from 5-7pm.

Clyde Hare is best known for his work on the Pittsburgh Photographic Library (PPL) project. Hare worked with Russell Lee and Esther Bubley, among others, on the project, which documented the "Renaissance of Pittsburgh”--the transformation from a smoky steel producing city to a clean, 20th century metropolis.

The exhibition includes photographs from his PPL project work, assignments for national magazines such as Life, Fortune, and National Geographic, as well as photographs that were included in his 1958 solo exhibition at the Carnegie Institute. Additionally the exhibition features many rare vintage prints not exhibited previously.
