The works of preeminent post-modern photographer Tseng Kwong Chi have appeared in many of America's most prestigious museums and institutions. This 3rd annual event celebrates the first retrospective of his work. Born in Hong Kong in 1950, Kwong Chi emigrated to Canada at age 10. He received artistic training in Paris and lived in New York from 1970 until his death from AIDS in 1990. He counted Keith Haring and Bill T. Jones among his friends and artistic associates. Closed Mondays, the exhibition opens to the public on Thursday, March 14 and runs through the conclusion of PrideFest America 2002. Special thanks to Muna Tseng, Tseng Kwong Chi Estate Executor; the Julie Saul Gallery; Lee Stoesel, West Collection at SEI; The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts; Joel Wachs; Dr. Amy Schlegel, Curator, Philadelphia Art Alliance; and Opus 251.
