In Newport (Oregon coast) all August at the Newport Arts Center in Nye Beach: big exhibit of Dorothea Lange's final FSA project in Oregon, before Roy Stryker "fired her for the third and final time."
Here are a couple of snaps while I toured the show. If you're driving Highway 101 in Oregon, be sure to make a stop here.

A small monograph of hers was the first photo book I ever bought. Kind of hard to believe that in her later years, Ralph Gibson was her assistant.

Keith wasn't that Gibson's first job after the Navy?

He went to college after the Navy, San Francisco Art Institute. Then worked for Lange for a couple of years. Afterwards he worked with Frank on his film, "Me and My Brother".

Rats, just missed it! Was looking for an excuse to drive to Newport for lunch. If I had known would have driven the extra twenty five miles from Lincoln City last week.

It was a wonderful exhibit, and there were hundreds of people on the beach, or shopping, or lunching, and one guy alone with Dorothea Lange. What a luxury.
You could phone them during the day and find out where it was headed next. I'd imagine it's still on the West Coast, probably still in the PNW.

If you get the chance, the Adams, Edward & Brett Weston and Strand exhibit at the Portland Art Museum is worth the slog up I-5

Oh thanks. I'll try to get to it. I was sposed to go up there soon, but have a chance to head up the McKenzie River to a very placid cabin for a meditative week before the weather changes and the university starts to take bites out of my time....

Sounds like wonderful exhibits both Lange and Adams and the Weston's.
