Taos photographer, Paul O’Connor, recently visited China to check on the proofs of his book, Taos Portraits, to be published June 1. A number of remarkable women from Taos are featured in both the photographs and as writers in the glossy volume, celebrating the local art community. While in Hong Kong, O’Connor also visited one of Larry Bell’s gigantic Gilgamesh sculptures (above) on a downtown street corner, where he himself posed for a candid snap (below) of the journey. An opening featuring O’Connor’s photographs and a book signing for Taos Portraits will take place June 1 at the Millicent Rogers Museum.
