Teenie Harris, Photographer: Image, Memory, History
by Teenie Harris, Joe W. Trotter, Laurence Glasco, Cheryl Finley
published by University of Pittsburgh Press

Teenie Harris's star keeps burning brighter and brighter, and is now shining high in a massive show of his work currently on display at The Carnegie Museum of Art here in Pittsburgh through April 7, 2012.  Teenie Harris, Photographer: Image, Memory, History is the catalogue to that show and it goes a long way to revealing the amazing social, cultural and spiritual riches of Pittsburgh's African-American community.  Anyone wondering what makes Pittsburgh special can find a large part of their answer of display right here.  Anyone who can, should attend this show – there's still plenty of time to make it.  Those who can't should consider picking up a copy of the catalogue, as it does a great job of presenting it, with 100 full-page plates and another hundred supporting images along with a trio of excellent in-depth essays that situate and contextualize Harris's life and work.  The printing and presentation is uniformly excellent and the book is a joy.  At the very least, everyone should spend some time at the Carnegie's Teenie Harris Archives; it's a wonderful resource.
