Stephen Wilkes: Ellis Island

Share This


Event flyer

Event Detail
For five years (1998--2003) photographer Stephen Wilkes explored and recorded the hospital complex that comprised the south side of Ellis Island. Neglected for almost 50 years, the buildings were in a state of extreme decay and disrepair. In rooms long abandoned, Wilkes captured a spirited vision of beauty in this gateway to freedom through his large-scale, color images. Stephen Wilkes, the winner of numerous honors and awards, lives in Westport, CT and is widely recognized for his fine art photography. Organized by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs.
