Getting Ready for WHS ‘Talk of the Town’ Exhibit

Final touches were made today to the Westport Historical Society “Talk of the Town” exhibit of covers of The New Yorker with Westport scenes and accompanying current photos of the same scene by Westport photographer Michael Goss (c). The exhibit, which opens with 6 to 8 p.m. reception Friday, celebrates the publication of “The New Yorker in Westport” by Eve Potts and Andrew Bentley (l). The book, with 50 New Yorker covers of Westport, was inspired by last year’s WHS exhibit showcasing many of the 767 covers produced by 17 New Yorker artists living in and around Westport from 1925 to 1989. The exhibit runs until Oct. 26. At right is Sue Gold, WHS executive director. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Helen Klisser During for WestportNow.com
