Midcentury Miami Beach

Opening July 25: Carl Walden - A Miami Photographer's Legacy

Don't miss this amazing glimpse at the culture of Mid-century Miami at the ArtCenter/South Florida Gallery. Three artists - Hugo Moro, Venessa Monokian, Natasha Duwin and Jules Lusson - completed a special six-month residency at ArtCenter/South Florida to develop this exhibit of the photographs of Miami photographer Carl Walden. Many of Walden’s photos depict entertainers from the 40s through the 70s that performed in Miami including Billy Graham, Walter Winchell, Gipsy Rose Lee and Charles Atlas. A native of Sweden , he began his vocation as photographer to the stars at Harper’s Bazaar and later became the official photographer of the McFadden Deauville Hotel (demolished in 1958). The opening reception is July 25 from 7 to 10 p.m. The ArtCenter/South Florida Gallery is located at 800 Lincoln Road on Miami Beach.
