Donovan and the launch of Sound and Vision: Monumental Rock & Roll Photography at The Gibbes Museum in Charleston, South Carolina
The Sound and Vision: Monumental Rock & Roll Photography exhibition looked terrific in the main gallery of The Gibbes Museum in Charleston, South Carolina. The opening night reception was held September 21st, on a beautiful Charleston evening. With a crowd of museum supporters on hand, Gibbes Museum board of directors member Alice Wyatt welcomed everyone to the show and introduced Sound and Vision curator Chris Murray, and Donovan who is featured in the exhibition in Barry Feinstein’s extraordinary photograph.
The following evening a lively party and fundraiser for The Gibbes Museum was held at the home of art collector and museum patron Michael Meyer, sponsored by the 1858 Society. A good time was had by all!!!
Charleston City Paper published a feature story on the exhibition. Here is a link to that story and photos of the exhibit opening and the party.

Hi Chris!!!
Lenny just send me the link to the gallery. Congratulations to a fun evening it looks like!! Donovan seems happy, rested, and enjoying the fun too! He has such a welcoming smile (you too! ), it was a wonderfull trip in Greece for all at Harvard with fond memories for the rest of our lives!! It was a pleasure to see you in DC at Greg’s birthday party too. If you are in the Boston area sometimes, contact us for a lunch, dinner or whatever you can make it at our house. Big hello to Donovan and same invitation to him and his wife. See you soon here, in DC or …..
What a great exhibition. Chris, please see if you can approach Eric Paddock at the DAM. Denver Art Museum. Do not mention my name.
I like the intimate photo groupings and music! I feel part of the group, as if I can listen in to the
conversation and upbeat music! Thank you!
