Gift of Milton Rogovin Prints
The Gallery recently received a gift of 64 prints by the 20th-century American photographer Milton Rogovin, including 39 works from his Lower West Side, Buffalo, New York series. In 1972 Rogovin began a 30-year project photographing the residents of Buffalo’s Lower West Side, a historic neighborhood adjacent to his optometry practice. The series presents a dynamic image of the community, which has long been home to a mix of ethnic groups, immigrant families, and working-class people—subjects who traditionally have been underrepresented in American visual culture.
