NextNOW Fest: Photography by Max Waldman
ABOUT THE EVENT
Max Waldman photographed some of the greatest theatre and dance artists during the 1960s and 1970s in New York City. Instead of capturing the artists onstage, however, he invited them to his studio where he often created new arrangements, which proved intimate & profound. This exhibition runs from August 2024 through July 2025.
Curated by Drew Barker, Performing Arts Librarian. Photographs from the Special Collections in Performing Arts (SCPA).
