This premiere
exhibition of our Virtual Gallery is now expanded to thirty-five photographs from
the collection of portrait photographer Van-Leo, now housed in the Sony Gallerys
permanent collection at the AUC Van-Leo archives. Van-Leos dramatic portraits
have been featured in three Sony Gallery shows: Van-Leo: A Moveable Feast, held
in October 1998 in conjuntion with AUCs Rare Books and Special Collections Library;
Glamour as Genre, held in Nov.-Dec. 1996; and from March 20 to May 10, 2001,
"Van-Leo: The Chronology," also in conjunction with the Rare Books Library.
Special thanks to Maha
