Tom Palazzolo’s ‘Clark Street’ Highlights Gritty Past of River North “Today, River North offers a trendy mix of restaurants, bars and galleries. But it wasn’t always that way, especially along one stretch of Clark Street, from the Chicago River north to Chicago Avenue. Palazzolo lived at the intersection of Clark and Hubbard from 1962 to 1972 and captured the area like few others. ‘You know, it was colorful, I guess,’ he said. ‘It had lots of bars. Almost every corner, if it didn’t have a greasy spoon, it had a bar. There were at least two, maybe three burlesque houses.’ He moved into the area when he was a 25-year-old student at the School of the Art Institute. ‘(I was) taking a photo class and looking for subject matter. And there it was, right outside the door,’ he said. Palazzolo was inspired by early photographers like Lewis Hine, who used their work to shine a light on people facing poverty and injustice. ‘They were very sympathetic to them and I was interested in following that kind of tradition,’ he said. ‘Of being not exactly a muckraker, but someone who showed a little interest and compassion for people who were on the lower end of society.’ Palazzolo went on to be known primarily as an experimental filmmaker, turning his lens on the grittier side of Chicago. Now many of his Clark Street photos have been collected into a new book called “Clark Street.” - Jay Shefsky for PBS- WTTW Chicago See Rare Nest's other auctions of museum catalogs, antiquarian books, photography books, art deco and Chicagoana.
