S
teve Schapiro has documented some of the
most significant political leaders, celebrities,
and social events of the past 50 years. Over
the course of his career, the New York native has
photographed an array of topics ranging from the
Civil Rights Movement to the plight of migrant
workers in Arkansas. He remains as prolific as ever,
continuing to produce new projects and to release
new books. Loyola University Museum of Art is
thrilled to announce that we will exhibit his new
series
Misericordia: Together We Celebrate
in the
Harlan J. Berk Works on Paper gallery. We spoke
with Schapiro about his new project, and how it fits
in with his larger body of work.
Steve Schapiro’s exhibition
Misericordia: Together
We Celebrate
will be on view in LUMA’s Works on
Paper Gallery until June 3, 2017.
