EXHIBIT OPENING
LIFE ALONG THE HUDSON:
PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOSEPH SQUILLANTE
JUNE 20—OCTOBER 4, 2009
Joseph
Squillante has spent the past three decades traveling the entire length
of the Hudson. Like the Hudson River landscape painters before him, some
of his photographs capture the beauty and romantic quality of the river
while others focus on people who live and work along its shores,
including farmers, fisherman, and biologists. His commitment to helping
transform the Hudson into a cleaner and more esteemed natural resource
has earned him the respect of the Hudson River community. He has worked
closely with Riverkeeper, headed by Robert Kennedy, Jr.; the Sloop
Clearwater, founded by Pete Seeger; and Scenic Hudson, founded in 1963
to help protect the Hudson River Valley. The exhibition will include 30
black-and-white images.
