If you’ve been around the Library recently, you know that we’ve
been making quite the fuss about Art Shay and My Florence, an exhibition of
photographs Art lovingly compiled documenting 67 years of marriage to Florence.
It is the ultimate valentine.
But Mr. Shay isn’t just a husband who was deeply in love
with his wife, he is a world-renowned photographer (his photos have graced over 1,000 magazine covers). So this exhibition has
received more attention than any other we’ve displayed at the Library. The
whirlwinds of activity have included national media attention, local media
attention, and an opening reception that brought throngs of people through our
doors.
Here's a sampling of the great coverage My Florence has received:
