Presently on view, this exhibition honors Hugh Edwards, former Curator of Photography at the Art Institute of Chicago. For approximately a dozen years, starting in 1959, Hugh Edwards acquired major works representing myriad styles of photography. "The Photographer's Curator:Hugh Edwards" exhibit will be on view until October 29, 2017. Five galleries are dedicated to the photographs.

On a personal note, I first met Hugh in 1959. Over the years of our friendship he enthusiastically shared his vast knowledge and love of photography; I learned a great deal from him. It is gratifying to know that the fruits of his labor have been gathered together in this tribute.

It would be good to hear from those who have seen the exhibit, and their impressions.
