The Washington Design Center and Dodge-Chrome, Inc. present "Architectural and Design Photography: The Art of Imaging,"

at the Washington Design Center. The exhibition features over 100 works by 29 of the area’s top architectural, interior design, landscape, and fine-art photographers. The exhibition also marks the region’s premier celebration of exceptional architectural photography and groundbreaking digital imaging—capturing the illuminating force behind architectural and design photography and digital art in the nation’s capital.

 

Among the show’s highlights is the iconic photograph by Mike Mitchell (below) of the Beatles' first U.S. concert on Feb. 11, 1964 at the Washington Coliseumin Washington, D.C. This photograph recently made news headlines around the world when a gelatin silver print of it was auctioned at Christie’s in New York:
