Portrait of an Era, Retrospective
Continuing Exhibit
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
Portrait of an Era, Retrospective - is a unique body of work by photographer Barry Elz, that includes portraits, intimate moments and game photos of the Chicago Bulls team members from 1996 thru1998 that culminated with the Chicago Bulls winning their second three-peat in 1998, a feat that has not been surpassed to this day. The disbanding of the team after this historic win along with the retirement of Michael Jordan- widely accepted as the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball, make this a unique collection of photographs.
The 45 images in this artistic collection capture a unique moment in time for basketball and for fans who appreciate the accomplishments and the talent of a team that defined an era in basketball history.
