Tuesday, November 16, 6:30PM EST
Join POWarts for an exhibition tour of Ruth Orkins: Expressions of Life, an emotional, inspiring, and romantic chronicle of the pioneering photographer and filmmaker Ruth Orkin at Fotografiska New York. Featuring landmark photographs from her work across Hollywood, New York City, Israel and Italy, the exhibition celebrates the Orkin’s centennial, and showcases her as a master of intimacy, warmth, and boldness behind the camera.
The tour will be led by Mary Engel, Founder and President of American Photography Archives Group, and Director of the Ruth Orkin Photo Archive. Mary will discuss the legacy of her mother's photography and film archive, as she inherited her mother's estate in 1985, and created the American Photography Archives Group, APAG in 2000 to help others who are in a similar position. She is the author a handbook "The Photo Archive Handbook: What you need to know." She will be happy to answer any questions you might have about this subject.
