SAN FRANCISCO, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Who: Barbara McQueen, Photographer & Widow of Steve McQueen Steve McQueen is returning to the city where he made his most famous movie, but it won't be at a theater or film retrospective. Instead, McQueen will be brought back to life on the walls of the San Francisco Art Exchange. This exhibition, which will last through the end of May, is a personal collection of approximately 40 photographs taken by Steve's widow and former model Barbara McQueen, who has remained silent about her relationship with husband Steve McQueen for more than 25 years. Now she is ready to talk about their life together and her photographs, which offer an extremely personal insight into the final years of Steve McQueen. The photos offer candid shots from 1977 to 1980 -- the actor's years out of the spotlight. It also chronicles her years with McQueen at Trancas Beach, Ketchum, Idaho and Santa Paula as well as behind-the-scenes photos on the set of Tom Horn and The Hunter. When: Saturday, May 5, 2007 7 to 10 p.m. Where: San Francisco Art Exchange - 458 E. Geary Street The exhibit takes place from 7 to 10 p.m. The event is co-hosted by Bonhams and Butterfields, a San Francisco-based firm which hosted a McQueen memorabilia auction in November 2006. "The idea of having a photo exhibit has been a long-time dream of mine," said Barbara McQueen. "And the perfect place to host such an exhibit is in the city where Steve filmed Bullitt."
