As it gets more difficult to see master works, or even good work, in Seattle this exhibit really stands out. In fact it may be the best showing of B&W prints in the city for years. From a donation by a major collector, the Fred Hutchinson Center is showing works by Ansel Adams, Ilse Bing, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Judy Dater, Stephanie Dinkins, Robert Doisneau, Tina Freeman, Jean Claude Gautrand, Yousuf Karsh, Andre Kertesz, Josef Koudelka, Clarence Laughlin, Robert Mapplethorpe, Stella Simon, Aaron Siskind, Michael A. Smith, W. Eugene Smith, Jerry Uelsmann, Brett Weston, Edward Weston, Max Yavno.
They are in the hallway after the main lobby.
I would recommend anyone in the area drop in and see it. I have been twice, and both times struck by how exposure to this level of work used to be a given, even mandatory, and now it seems so rare and the work so "unusual".
