Over his 60 year career award-winning photographer Harry Benson has covered the central events and personalities of our time.  With a range of subjects that is unequalled among his peers – from the Beatles to Bosnia, from world leaders to the most high profile celebrities – his unforgettable images have found their way onto the covers and pages of such major magazines as Life, Vanity Fair, People, New Yorker, Architectural Digest, etc.  

As a young photographer working for the London papers he came to America with the Beatles in 1964.  He knew he never wanted to leave.  He has photographed numerous world leaders, as well as every President and first family since Eisenhower.  Harry Benson has the uncanny ability to always be at the right place at the right time.  Through his numerous museum and gallery exhibitions, as well as books and magazines, Benson has reinvented the task of the photojournalist, creating commanding images that immortalize a moment and their subjects.

This exhibition features Harry Benson’s two newest bodies of work.  He returns to his hometown of Glasgow to show a bygone city as well as a bustling modern metropolis.  He has also made a study of the Tivoli Gardens during all four season and the different time of the day.  His photographs echo the inventiveness and spirit of the gardens.  The photographs are alive with light, color and motion.
