The exhibit is paired with a world premiere of the video biography Martin Elkort: An American Mirror. Both events are coordinated by Elkort’s daughter, the Houston-based filmmaker Stefani Twyford, who made the documentary. “My father was part of a shift in American photography that gave rise to a close observation of human interaction now known as street photography,” she says via press materials. “I wanted to profile his unique body of work, and hopefully give a greater understanding of his and his peers’ influence on modern photography.”
There’s an opening reception 6 to 8 p.m. May 3. Regular viewing hours for the exhibit are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays. Through May 31. The Catherine Couturier Gallery, 2635 Colquitt. For information, call 713-524-5070 or visit catherinecouturier.com. Free.
