This event has occurred in the past.

Opening reception: Friday, November 9; 7-9 pm

This exhibition features photographs from former OU painting faculty member Carol Beesley’s 30-year collection.

A recent gift to the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, the collection is a significant addition to the museum’s photography holdings. It includes work by many of the most important figures in the history of modern photography such as Edward Weston, Frederick Sommer, Laura Gilpin and Paul Camponigro, as well as work by well-known contemporary artists William Wegman, Sally Mann and Jerry Uelsmann.

Beesley’s role as a mentor and supporter of the studio program and the university is reflected by the inclusion of photographs by several former students and faculty members as well. Beesley’s collection is given in honor of her late husband Michael Hennagin, who taught music composition at OU for 20 years.

A guest lecture by Jon Burris, executive director of Untitled Art Space in Oklahoma City, and Andrew Strout, professor of photography, will accompany this exhibition’s opening Nov. 6 at 6 pm.
