Description
Pete Seeger, Chicago, 1969: Horenstein photographed Seeger at the University of Chicago Folk Festival while he was still a history student there — banjo people documenting banjo people. This print is from Limited-Edition Music Prints for the ACLU (2025–26), organized by Janette Beckman and Julie Grahame: fifty music photographs at $150 each, every net dollar to the ACLU Foundation. An 8 × 10 chromogenic print in an edition of twelve; buying protest photography to fund protest law feels exactly right for a Seeger.
