The
Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) has partnered with Condé Nast to present an
exhibition of photographs by celebrated fashion photographer and filmmaker Bruce
Weber, on view at the DIA from June 20 to Sept. 7, 2014.
Bruce Weber captures
the rich culture of Detroit through striking, often intimate images of the
city’s people and places. The exhibition is organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts and presented in collaboration with Condé Nast.
“We
are delighted that Condé Nast is honoring Detroit and its vibrant art scene with
this exciting exhibition,” said Graham W. J. Beal, DIA director. “Bruce Weber’s
images beautifully capture the spirit of the people who make up this city.”
“Condé
Nast is pleased to partner with the DIA to present this one-of-a-kind exhibition
that showcases the spirit and greatness of Detroit,” said Condé Nast CEO Charles
H. Townsend. “From its history as an industrial titan to its current renaissance
as a beacon for the arts, Detroit has a special and uniquely American character,
which Bruce captures so brilliantly.”
“Detroit
is one of the few places in the world now where there is a big welcome sign in
the smiles and hearts of its people,” said Weber. “Their continued courage and
resilience is why I first ended up there with my camera. Condé Nast has joined
me to help celebrate Detroit with this exhibition.”
