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

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
