The Stephen Daiter Gallery in Chicago has just announced a 2012 exhibit of Art Shay photography. From Jan. 6 through late February the gallery will display a photography show largely based on Shay's career.
Eighty percent of it will be a full retrospective of Art Shay's wide-ranging photojournalism for the magazines of his day, some of his 1,100 covers and irreverent pictures of celebrities and the news events of his time, plus many previously unexhibited pictures by Shay, whom the gallery has represented for 35 years.
The other 20 percent will include work by other masters of the past century -- namely Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank, whose candid images of their time have often been compared to Shay's.
