Greg Miller’s “Panorama of the Hudson River” has had a lasting impact on the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art.
The photographic panorama’s run at the Sara Bedrick Gallery has been extended into next year. The show, which opened in July, will continue through Dec. 13 and will reopen on Feb. 6 for seven weeks.
Sara Pasti, the Neil C. Trager director of the museum, said the show was extended because of its popularity and to allow students who arrive in the spring semester to view the exhibition.
The museum commissioned Miller, a photographer from Monroe, to create a photographic panorama of the Hudson River that was modeled on earlier painted, engraved and photographic views of the river.
Miller’s photograph of the Hudson River includes both banks and stretches from Manhattan to Albany. The image is paired with a 1910 photographic panorama developed for the Hudson River Day Line Steamer Company; both photographs are 80 feet long.
The show is part of the college’s Art and the River project, a six-month series of exhibitions, lectures and events celebrating the Hudson River’s Quadricentennial.
