“Pepper No. 30 Revisited” at the Friends Gallery in Armonk, NY

The Ground Glass, a Westchester-based association of fine art photographers, will be hosting “Pepper No. 30 Revisited,” a selection of photographs at The Friends Gallery located inside the North Castle Library in Armonk. The exhibit consists of the group’s individual interpretations of Edward Weston’s iconic image, “Pepper No. 30.”

Mr. Weston himself once said, “As great a picture can be made as one’s mental capacity–no greater. Art cannot be taught; it must be self-inspiration, though the imagination may be fired and the ambition and work directed by the advice and example of others.”

The show will be on display from May 14 through June 7, 2019. A reception with the photographers will be held on Thursday, May 23, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

The Friends Gallery is located at:
The North Castle Public Library
19 Whippoorwill Road East
Armonk, NY 10504
