Fahey|Klein Gallery is having a two for one this thursday with Eugene Richards’ The Blue Room and Shelby Lee Adams’ Appalachian Portraits. I love this pairing! While Adams’ work brings you inside the lives of friends and relatives of small town communities in Kentucky with honest portraits Richards brings the audience into abandoned homes across America to show you a portrait of people through everything left behind. I really could go on for pages about these two absolutely stunning collections but I’ll let you check them out for yourself, the gallery has over 30 photos from each exhibit up on the website.
