Collector's Chat with William Knight Zewadski: 19th Century Photography Related to Ancient Athens
2025-01-16 18:00 - 19:00 | Tampa Museum of Art, 120 W Gasparilla Plaza, Tampa, FL, 33602, United States
Date: Thursday January 16, 2025
Time: 6 – 7 pm
Location: Tampa Museum of Art, Farish Gallery
Join private collector Bill Zewadski for a gallery talk about the 19th century photography on view in the exhibition “Ancient Athens: Birthplace of Democracy.” The black-and-white photographs bring life to the ancient city of Athens, its arts and ideals, as it laid the foundations of popular government. The exhibition helps contextualize the Museum’s permanent antiquities collection while recognizing the continued importance of the cultural legacy of Classical Greece.
Either on loan from the Zewadski collection or donated to the Tampa Museum of Art, the works represent some of the earliest and most important photographers active in Athens during the 19th century. The collector will talk about the beginnings of photography, still very much a new science and artform at the time. The selected photos illustrate various techniques and advances in that science, as much as they illustrate ancient art and monuments. Mr. Zewadski will additionally discuss his various collection interests.
Talks at the Tampa Museum of Art are free with the cost of Admission.

Art+ Museum Members: Free
Not-Yet-Members: $25

William Knight (“Bill”) Zewadski practiced law at Trenam Law in Tampa for fifty years. He is an avid collector of ancient art and photography with a particular interest in Greek and Roman art and archaeology, the Classical nude and ancient theater, as well as their reception in modern times. Over the past four decades, he has donated countless antiquities and photographs to two dozen institutions such as the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Kinsey Institute, the Library of Congress, Emory University, and the University of South Florida as well as the Tampa Museum of Art.
