Notes from the Margins: Ginsberg and Maier Centennial at Howard Greenberg Gallery
Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York presents 'Notes from the Margins: Allen Ginsberg and Vivian Maier', a dual exhibition marking the centennial of both artists. The show features 80 modern and vintage prints, alongside Maier's experimental films and footage of Ginsberg reciting his poem 'Howl'. Ginsberg, born in New York on June 3, 1926, was a Beat poet and photographer; his portraits from the 1950s-1964 capture friends like Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, Gregory Corso, and Neal Cassady. Maier, born in New York on February 1, 1926, worked as a nanny in Chicago and left behind 150,000 images discovered after her 2009 death. The exhibition explores observation, marginality, and the transformation of everyday experience. Runs until September 12.
