MARTY STUART: THE ART OF COUNTRY MUSIC
October 3, 2014 – January 3, 2015
This exhibition features rare memorabilia once owned by some of the legends of country music, including Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline and Porter Wagoner from the collection of country music star, Marty Stuart. The exhibition is augmented by a large selection of Stuart’s own photographs of country music stars, among them Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson and Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, which are a photographic love letter to the founders of country music.
Stuart is a leading collector of roots music memorabilia and a photographer of roots founders. His work is the focus of several monographs, including Pilgrims: Sinners, Saints, and Prophets (1999) and Country Music: The Masters (2008). As a musician, Stuart has performed and recorded with music legends including Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash, and is destined to join their ranks as one of country music’s most influential stars. He and His Fabulous Superlatives will perform in concert on the night of the exhibit opening on October 3, 2014.
