Philadelphia, PA – In celebration of the centenary of the birth of Julien Levy (1906-1981), one of the most influential and colorful proponents of modern art and photography and an impassioned champion of Surrealism, the Philadelphia Museum of Art will present a major exhibition and publish a comprehensive book surveying Levy’s collection of photographs.  Dreaming in Black-and-White: Photography at the Julien Levy Gallery will be on view from June 17–September 17, 2006.  More than 200 photographs, some exhibited for the first time in five decades, will be drawn from more than 2,000 images acquired by the Museum in 2001 in part as a gift from Levy’s widow, Jean Farley Levy, and with a major contribution from philanthropists Lynne and Harold Honickman.
