BIOGRAPHY

Harvey L. Silver

Photographer

​

Specializing in photographs of American music and culture, I chronicled the people, events and movements of the times. Growing up in New York City and traveling across the country, I photographed landscapes and streets. I was fortunate to record images of iconic folksingers, blues artists and rock groups – including The Band, Pete Seeger, Gram Parsons, Tim Buckley, The Byrds, Buddy Guy, Al Kooper, Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt and many others.

Primarily through Getty Images, I've been published in major media, including Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, New York Times, Boston Globe, New York Magazine, People, Smithsonian, Huffington Post, AOL, CNN and numerous other national and international publications, books, websites and networks, as well as documentary and independent films and videos.

My portfolios continue to grow, as I mine my archives and scan more original black & white negatives and color slides.

Living in the Hudson Valley in the Town of Rhinebeck, New York, I was a member of the Gallery@Rhinebeck, and had a solo exhibit at the Starr Library, and four solo shows at Rhinebeck Bank.  A group of my photographs are on display in the lobby collection of Radio Woodstock (100.1 WDST) in Woodstock, N.Y. 

​

I am represented in the virtual gallery Rhinebeck Fine Art and was part of their 2024 group show "Creativity is Contagious: The Artists of Rhinebeck Fine Art" at the Palmer Gallery in Vassar College, as well as an earlier show at Gallery 40 in Poughkeepsie, NY.

I have been featured in two shows at the Betsy Jacaruso Studio & Gallery in Rhinebeck: "Terra NOVA Terra INCOGNITA" in 2024, and "Understory" in 2022.

In 2024, I had a solo photographic show, CHANGIN' TIMES at the Arts Society of Kingston. The show focused on the creative and turbulent times of the late 60's and 70's. A year earlier, I presented an edition of this show in New York City at a gallery in the East Village. Art critic J. Scott Orr wrote a wonderful and comprehensive review that can be found at BSceneZine

​

As a member of the Arts Society of Kingston, I participate monthly in the member shows.
