“Admission to the exhibit, like the parks and starlight, is free”
“Six months ago, a conservancy official cleaning out an office came across two cardboard boxes that had been sitting around for decades.
Inside were 2,924 color slides, pictures made in parks across New York City’s five boroughs late in the summer of 1978. No one had looked at them for 40 years.
Until now, none of these images have ever been displayed or published. A selection of them are here and in a special print section. More will be on view from May 3 through June 14 at the Arsenal Gallery in Central Park, 830 Fifth Avenue, near 64th Street.
….the work of eight staff photographers…who were idled for nearly three months in 1978 by a strike at the city’s newspapers— Neal Boenzi, Joyce Dopkeen, D. Gorton, Eddie Hausner, Paul Hosefros, Bob Klein, Larry Morris, and Gary Settle — met with Gordon J. Davis, the city parks commissioner.”
