The triumphs and tragedies of the 1960s provided photographer Bob Gomel extraordinary opportunities to help advance American photojournalism. As the images in Eyewitness demonstrate, when history was made, Gomel often was there, making iconic and innovative images of world leaders and events, athletes and entertainers, and great moments in contemporary history — including President John F. Kennedy, the Beatles, Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X, and Marilyn Monroe.

This exhibition, presented by Alta Arts and sponsored by the Briscoe Center for American History at The University of Texas at Austin, and in conjunction with the 2024 Fotofest Biennial, serves as a retrospective of Gomel’s work and includes photographs from his personal collection that are featured for the first time in a public showing.

Multi-Zen-Sery open from 11 am to 8 pm. Closing reception on Saturday, August 5 from 5 to 8 pm.

Houston is home to a variety of densely populated and diverse neighborhoods – many lacking a dedicated area or program devoted to the appreciation of the cultural arts and architecture. Alta Arts mission is to enhance a region of scarcity by elevating opportunities for a wide variety of performance and visual artists/architects to showcase their works as well as educate the general public.
