ArtCenter/South Florida presents The Walden Project Opening Reception July 25, 7-10pm with an art raffle drawing.

Carl Walden
A Miami Photograher’s Legacy

Many of Walden’s photos depict entertainers from the 40s through the 70s that performed in Miami including Billy Graham, Walter Winchell, Gipsy Rose Lee and Charles Atlas. A native of Sweden , he began his vocation as photographer to the stars at Harper’s Bazaar and later became the official photographer of the McFadden Deauville Hotel (demolished in 1958).

In 2007, one-three art collective members Duwin, Lusson, Monokian and Moro completed a special six-month residency at ArtCenter/South Florida to develop The Walden Project. This entailed the organization of vast archives from The Carl Walden Studios, bequeathed to one-three member Lusson in 2003 upon the death of the artist’s wife, Mrs. Natalie Walden. Photographer Peggy Levison Nolan joined the collective in selecting large-format negatives from the archives, mostly to generate prints highlighting Walden’s talent and as windows into the culture of Mid-century Miami. “We aspire to grasp the attention of South Florida’s historical institutions with the appropriate facilities to preserve The Carl Walden Archives,” said one-three art collective members. “Whether shown in whole or in part for the use of scholars and artists, our mission is to re-introduce the works of this great photographer and to pay homage to his legacy.”
