Friday, September 2 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Join us for an opening reception of Herbert Ascherman Jr.: 40 Years, the first career retrospective of Cleveland’s preeminent living portrait photographer.

While making his living in portraiture, Ascherman also pursued passions in other photographic genres—street photography, nudes, and landscapes. This exhibition gathers approximately 60 key works from all of those interest areas, selected by Ascherman and Heights Arts, that powerfully represent his wide-ranging career. The exhibition features new prints of every image, produced in small editions on the occasion of this show.

A related gallery talk on Thursday, September 29 offers an opportunity to hear Herbert speak about his life in photography, as well as hear new poetry written about the works on view.  p.m. Herbert Ascherman Jr.: 40 Years will be on view through October 15, 2016.
