Danny Lyon: The Bikeriders
August 2 – January 18, 2025
Member Opening: August 2, 2025, 4:00 – 7:00 PM
This exhibit will feature 50 photographs by Danny Lyon, a renowned 1960s documentary photographer and filmmaker who famously chronicled the activities of the Chicago Outlaws motorcycle club from 1963 to 1967. It features black-and-white photographs, text by Lyon and excerpts from transcribed interviews with his fellow club members. The images convey a sense of personal authenticity while offering a gritty and bittersweet portrayal of individuals living on the fringes of society. Some photos have a romantic quality, and all are honest, showcasing documentary photography at its best.
