Slim Aarons: Newport Days

11 Jul 2024 - 31 Jan 2025
Overlooking Bailey Slim Aarons

Working in partnership with Getty Images and in collaboration with Newport Curates, the exhibition is the first devoted to the Newport and New England photographs of renowned lifestyle photographer Slim Aarons (1916-2006). The Redwood being the sole venue, the show will bring together over fifty photographs drawn from the Slim Aarons archive held by Getty Images in London.

In a forty-year career as a globe-trotting, freelance photographer capturing “attractive people… doing attractive things in attractive places” for magazines such as Holiday, Town & Country, Life, and Travel & Leisure, Aarons produced a corpus of distinctly styled photographs that establish him as the ultimate chronicler of the post-war beau monde from Acapulco to St Moritz.
