Fifteen Minutes of Fame? presents photographs from the Art Gallery of Algoma’s permanent collection. While technology can facilitate Internet stardom today, these glossy black-and-white photographs by acclaimed American photographers Edward Steichen (1879-1973) and Larry Fink (1941-2023) present fame through the glamorous world of actors, writers, and visual artists from the 1920s to the early 2000s, as well as gritty scenes of boxing matches in the 1990s.
