I made it to this exhibit in early August and recommend it! She was amazing with light, a great portraitist, and so good at capturing everyday moments.
The exhibit does a great job showing some of her process as well with contact sheets displayed in each gallery section showing variations on how subjects were framed.
It's also a beautiful building and this will be the last exhibit as they move to a larger space that has not been determined.
Would love to see this. The documentary on her was fascinating. Fun fact: Phil Donahue hired her as a nanny for a short time in Chicago. RIP Phil.
I was not familiar with her work, but wow! I wish l lived close enough to make it to the exhibit.
