In conjunction with the O. Winston Link solo exhibition opening the night before at VCP, we are pleased to be hosting a public lecture with organizing curator of the O. Winston Link Museum, Thomas Garver, who worked as an assistant and agent for Link at various points throughout Link’s photographic career.

Thomas Garver is an art historian and former art museum curator and director and served as Winston’s assistant for a year in 1957-1958 while studying art restoration at the Brooklyn Museum – later contributing to Link’s first book, ‘Steam, Steel & Stars’ which Abrams published in 1987. Garver later served as Winston’s business agent (1994-2000), was the sole author of ‘The Last Steam Railroad in America’, and following Link’s death in January 2001, Garver was the organizing curator of the O. Winston Link Museum, located in the old Norfolk and Western passenger station in Roanoke, Virginia.
