Description

The Carriage Barn Arts Center presents  Edward Keating: A Fearless Legacy  Photography Exhibition of the Pulitzer prize-winning photographer from New Canaan October 12 - November 13, 2024

This new exhibition highlights the late Pulitzer-prize winning photographer’s 40-year career, as well as his connection to New Canaan, CT.  Curated with members of the photographer’s family, this first-ever retrospective features 80 photographs and additional archival materials that offer insight into Keating’s career and life as a photographer. The exhibition spans decades of his work and features editioned estate prints as well as rare and unique vintage silver gelatins printed by Keating that are available for sale.  

Born in 1956 and raised in New Canaan, CT, Edward Keating moved to New York City in 1981 to become a photographer. He taught himself how to photograph by chronicling the street life of everyday New Yorkers. 

Hired as a Staff Photographer at The New York Times in 1991, he covered national and international news. He was also a regular contributor to the Sunday New York Times Magazine. In addition, he co-founded the "Vows" wedding column. In 2002, Keating won the Pulitzer Prize for his coverage on the attacks of 9/11. He additionally shared the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting with New York Times staff for the series, "How Race is Lived in America.” After leaving the Times in 2002, he became a regular contributor to New York Magazine, Rolling Stone Magazine, Vanity Fair and Time. 

From Kosovo to Crown Heights, Keating often put himself in the center of highly charged conflicts - ignoring the dangers -- to best capture the emotion, devastation and humanity with his camera.  Keating’s camera stayed around his neck until the very end. At just 65 years of age, he passed away in September 2021, as a result of many months of long exposure to toxic material while covering 9/11 at Ground Zero.

The Carriage Barn Arts Center is located in New Canaan's Waveny Park, hours are Wednesday-Saturday 10am-3pm and Sunday 1-5pm. Visit carriagebarn.org for more information.
