Powerful Private Art Collections Revealed to the Public in Downtown West Palm Beach

 

The Palm Beach Photographic Centre has obtained more than 200 pieces of emotional artwork from five private collections. The works of photography and sculpture highlight the evolution of children through 150 years of society from child labor exploitation to poverty, hunger, war, through encouraging and uplifting advances.

The exhibit is curated by Ray Merritt, author of "Full of Grace: A Journey Through the History of Childhood."

A review in Oprah Winfrey's O Magazine described the photographs as "dazzlingly elegant, elegiac, moving, and exhilarating... From Lewis Carroll's artfully posed, wary innocents to child welfare activist Lewis Hine's exhausted young factory workers to Sally Mann's self-revealing daughters, this is childhood seen through the clear lens of curiosity, filtered with compassion and respect. As philanthropist-connoisseur Merritt, who will donate the book's net proceeds to UNICEF, puts it, 'Old men can make war, but it is children who will make history.'"

The Palm Beach Photographic Centre on Clematis Street is an important cultural establishment in south Florida and when you buy a condo in downtown West Palm Beach, this institution is outside your door. Buying a condo in 610 Clematis allows you to walk to the Palm Beach Photographic Centre and experience internationally renown artwork.

West Palm Beach is well-noted for its beautiful weather and exciting nightlife. Another lesser talked about asset are the cultural establishments that are very popular with art enthusiasts because of their commitment to acquiring the finest in photography, sculpture and painting.

There are few places in south Florida or elsewhere in the nation where you can enjoy your rooftop pool at Two City Plaza, go for a run on Flagler Drive enjoying a beautiful water view, then relax in your oversized bathtub to prepare for an evening of dinner in the tropically landscaped outdoor piazza CityPlace, and then be engaged by acclaimed artwork in the Palm Beach Photographic Centre, all while never getting in a train or car.

Convenience and access is what makes downtown West Palm Beach condos such as Two City Plaza and South Tower into prime locations to rent or own.
