San Francisco, CA- Micaela Gallery announces Larry Keenan's exhibition, "Counter Culture" opening on Wednesday, September 6, 2006 at 6pm.
Larry Keenan at Micaëla Gallery, 333 Hayes Street in San Francisco. Larry Keenan is a world-renowned photographer. Keenan is considered a true "Beat." Keenan's images are very powerful and extremely recognizable. His photographs have graced hundreds of publications and he has shown his work at The National Portrait Gallery, The Whitney Museum, The Walker Art Center, and The Smithsonian Institution.
The photo above is a selection from his Counter-Culture Gallery. This image is one in a series of photos Keenan took in 1969 in Los Altos Hills California called Generation Gap. Larry Keenan writes, "In the hills, I was shooting a session with some medical students from Stanford and the Sexual Freedom League, illustrating a Ken Kesey project. The basic premise was that doctors spend all their time at school and in hospitals and are not exposed to the free life in the real world. Kesey felt that they were losing their sensitivity. This unknown old man walked in and sat down on the bench among some people sitting around. Suddenly they all got up, took off their clothes and danced around him. He refused to remove his clothes even when the women pulled at them. Everyone kept asking, "Who is that old man?"”
This is just one of many of Keenan’s captivating and historical photographs on exhibition at Micaela Gallery - 333 Hayes St. San Francisco, California USA from September 9, 2006 through September 30, 2006.
