Artist Tour of “Everyday Anchorage: Duke Russell & Ward Wells”

Join artist Duke Russell for a tour of the exhibition Everyday Anchorage: Duke Russell & Ward Wells. Russell’s paintings from the past three decades, in conversation with Wells’ commercial and studio photographs from the late 1940s-1970s from the Anchorage Museum’s collection, show how both artists celebrate weird and wonderful aspects of Anchorage life. 

Hear from Russell about his visits to the Anchorage Museum Archives to research Ward Wells photographs, and how local landscapes and personalities influence his art practice.
