Tony King

The current iteration of WAM's new initiative features five photographs by B.A. (Tony) King. King lived and worked as a photographer in Worcester for many years, detailing the lives of “everyday people” from varying socio-economic backgrounds. This rotation features a grouping of candid portraits taken in the late 1960s into the 1970s, illustrating the diversity of his subjects. In conjunction with the gallery rotation, an installation of 31 photographs is hung on the walls of the Museum Café, illustrating the breadth of King's subject matter which includes still-life and landscape photography. The display of his photographs in the Museum's Rose Gallery and Café commemorates one year since the artist's passing in 2017.
