Upcoming Photographs Exhibition
Spirit into Matter: The Photographs of Edmund Teske
June 15 – September 26, 2004
Museum, West Pavilion

Edmund Teske (American, 1911 – 1996) is one of the unheralded alchemists of twentieth-century photography. From his origins as a social documentarian, Teske went on to create richly evocative figure studies, rhapsodies on nature, views of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture, studies in abstraction, and portraits of Hollywood actors and musicians.
