The exhibition features a selection of over 50 gelatin silver prints culled from thousands of images Lee made across the South in the 1980s. Many of these photographs on view for the first time, the exhibition includes compelling portraits of Black Americans, as well as a collection of landscape, cityscape and still-life images that visually encapsulate the Reagan-era American South.
To celebrate the opening, join us at 2 p.m. today, October 5 for a FREE Curated Conversation with photographer Baldwin Lee and Director of Curatorial Affairs for Prospect New Orleans, Andrew Rebatta! Presented by The Shirley Rabé Masinter Fund, the two will discuss Lee’s formal education with Minor White and Walker Evans (two of the 20th centuries’ most influential photographers) and his 1980s journey of self-discovery photographing the American South.
You can view “Baldwin Lee” at Ogden Museum now through February 16, 2025. To learn more about the exhibition and Curated Conversation, visit the link in our bio.
