Walker Hancock was one of the premier American sculptors of the 20th century and a highly engaged and respected member of the Cape Ann community. Michael Lafferty was a skilled photographer who spent hours photographing Hancock in his Lanesville studio, creating a series of intimate portraits of the sculptor at work. This exhibit combined the work of Lafferty and Hancock.
The exhibit was on view at the Janet & William Ellery James Center from January 11 through March 31.
