Northshire Bookstore Saratoga will host a author talk and book signing with Barbara Villet, author, collaborator & wife of LIFE magazine photographer Grey Villet, for her new book, "The Lovings: An Intimate Portrait" at their store at 424 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY (www.northshire.com). This program supports the current exhibition, "Rights, Race & Revolutions: A Portrait of LIFE in 1960s America by Grey Villet" on view in Crandall Public Library's Folklife Gallery through December 31, 2017. The photographs in this Folklife Gallery exhibition sample the work of the late Grey Villet. From The Fifties to The Eighties, the South African-born Villet traveled America and the world for the legendary LIFE magazine, exposing the changing nature of the times in images that were, in his words, “as real as real can get.” Drawn from politics, sports, major news events, and essays, the selections from this work arrive at a multifaceted portrait of the period while tracing a journey of personal and professional growth that carried Grey to a place of eminence among photojournalism's great masters. This exhibition is co-curated by Grey Villet's wife, Barbara Villet, who had been Grey's collaborator during his career with LIFE, and is a longtime resident of Washington County, New York. Produced by the Folklife Gallery, the exhibition "Rights, Race & Revolutions: A Portrait of LIFE in 1960s America by Grey Villet" and its programs are funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts - Folk Arts Program supported by Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
