Beacon Institute is proud to open a new exhibit titled The Hudson's Seasons & Spans by renowned Hudson Valley photographer Ted Spiegel.The exhibit runs from October 8, 2011 through March 4, 2012 at the Institute's gallery at 199 Main Street in Beacon. The Institute will celebrate the new exhibit with a reception on Sunday, October 23 from 2-4pm*. Following the reception, from 4-5pm, Spiegel will discuss his book Hudson Valley Voyage: Through the Seasons, Through the Years.
An accomplished photojournalist with more than 50 years of experience, Ted Spiegel has
covered assignments across the globe, but like the 19th-century artists of the famed Hudson
River School, he's made the Hudson River Valley the focus of much of his life's work.
Spiegel's love of the landscape and positive attitude infuse all his images. His January 1978 assignment for National Geographic magazine was a color photo essay on the Hudson River Valley. He has produced 15 other photo essays for National Geographic magazine on a variety of subjects, and has also produced several picture books on such topics as the Hudson River Valley, Saratoga and West Point.
Spiegel’s most recent book, Hudson Valley Voyage: Through the Seasons, Through the Years, in
collaboration with Reed Sparling, focuses on the four seasons and four centuries. This will be the focus of Spiegel's author talk for the Sunday Author Series from 4-5pm. Both the talk and the reception are free and open to the public.
