Worth A Thousand Words: Pictures of Writers By Pat York

As someone who once earned her living as a journalist, Pat York has a particular respect for writers. Starting at Vogue, she later became the travel editor/photographer at Glamour. She is particularly drawn to artists, with painters, film makers, and writers forming a significant part of an extensive portfolio that also includes landscapes. Her particular passion is what lies literally beneath the skin: photos of the body’s interior structure. Having lived all over the world, Pat York’s internationalism is reflected in her Museum and Gallery exhibitions. The international aspect continues as she has recently returned from her fifth show in Poland.

Pat York’s Statement About the Cover Image:“This photograph was taken in 1973 at New York’s Grand Central Station, with Tennessee Williams sitting on his suitcase, hugging his play, ‘Outcry,’ with his typewriter next to him. He was on his way to New Haven, the first of 3 out-of-town try-outs, followed by Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., before the opening on Broadway. One of my great pleasures was having dinner alone with Tennessee every night in a Japanese restaurant as my husband, Michael, who was in the play, preferred not to eat before a performance. Tennessee was a perfect gentleman, always greeting me with a little gift. It was my pleasure to always find places where he could swim daily. In D.C. he received a rave review and at supper he announced: ‘This gives me the permission to continue’ – as if he needed it. His concern was genuine – he always referred to the press as ‘the firing squad that awaits in every city.’”

This exhibit will be on display in the Annenberg Reading Room and the Special Collections Room January – March.
