The panorama was originally comprised of eight 8x10-inch contact prints montaged together to form an image nearly seven feet long. The original print is in the ICP collection, and is enlarged and presented here through the courtesy of the Todd Webb Estate.

TRAVELING EXHIBITIONRise and Fall of Apartheid: Photography and the Bureaucracy of Everyday LifeOn view through June 29, 2014 Museum Africa, Johannesburg, South AfricaRise and Fall of Apartheid explores the legacy of the apartheid system and how it defined South Africas identity from 1948 to 1994, penetrating even the most mundane aspects of social existence. Departing from the conventional documentary records and images often associated with the struggle against apartheid, the exhibition investigates the domain of the banal, the unremarkable, and the unremarked upon as a way of understanding this eras enduring legacy.

Alum Gaston Solnicki (GS03) is interviewed on NY1.Alumni News Archive STORE FEATURED ITEM: URBES MUTANTESUrbes Mutantes: Latin American Photography 1941–2012 is a visual exploration of the public spaces of various cities in Latin America. This comprehensive and generously illustrated volume includes striking images by such masters as Paolo Gasparini, Geraldo de Barros, Horacio Coppola, and Fernell Franco, as well as important works from other rediscovered talents. These photographs explore a universal view of many important aspects of the Latin American city, from the commonalities found in night life, popular street culture, mass movements and political demonstrations, to the distinct contrasts that arise when internationally influenced modernist buildings are set amid traditional vernacular architecture.Buy Online STAFF PICK: PHENOTYPE by Jochen Lempert by Samara Muller-Peters, Sales AssociatePhenotype is the first comprehensive monograph of photographer and biologist Jochen Lemperts work. His interest in biology is inherent in his work; monkeys, mosses, birds, and glowworms fill the pages. But these are not the slick photographs found in nature magazines. Printed on soft matte paper, they are grainy. Dust on the negatives is frequently visible. These poetically arranged images have an unpretentious beauty. Phenotype reads as a rumination on life through photography in its most essential forms.Buy Online UPCOMING BOOK SIGNINGS June 6: Milagros de la Torre,Photographs 1991–2011 June 13: Aaron Stern,I Woke Up in My Clothes June 27: John G.

MEMBERS & SUPPORT SUPPORT ICPS ANNUAL FUND Youth programs are a big part of what we do—Museum Education, Teen Academy, and Community Partnerships allow students a chance to study photography with skilled instructors, which creates remarkable opportunities to find their voices and express themselves through art and photography. We hope that you will consider making a gift to ICPs Annual Fund this year and help us continue to cultivate and encourage the extraordinary talent of these young photographers. ICP has been my second home since I was 17. Not only did ICP provide an extraordinarily supportive community for myself and other photographers when I was a teenager, it also made a life of photography and artmaking seem possible. I continue to be fired up by the energy I feel upon walking into the ICP School, filled with people who are so passionate about this work. Now, as a teacher in Community Programs, Im able to help teens develop their creative voices, see that imagemaking can be lifelong, and know that ICP will always be a home for them. The work from our teenagers always surprises and amazes me, and I feel honored to be a part of the journey of so many young photographers.— Tamara Porras, ICP Community Programs Instructor and former student Photo by Johnny Tan. Your gift to ICPs Annual Fund helps us extend our reach and enhance the impact of all that we do. Our goal is to raise $100,000 by June 30 and we are almost there. PLEASE JOIN US IN OUR MISSION BY MAKING A DONATION TODAY COLLECTIONS RECENT ACQUISITION: NELSON MANDELA BY JÜRGEN SCHADEBERGby ICP Chief Curator Brian Wallis The 20th anniversary of democracy in South Africa has been marked this year by a wide range of events throughout the nation, including the ICP exhibition Rise and Fall of Apartheid organized by Okwui Enwezor and currently on view at Museum Africa in Johannesburg. As that exhibition shows, for over 50 years photographers vividly represented and participated in the opposition to the repressive apartheid system that kept white and black South Africans segregated by law. An early leader in the nonviolent protest movement was Nelson Mandela (1918–2013), who was imprisoned for 27 years and in 1994 became the first democratically elected president of South Africa. In this rare photograph from December 1951, the 33-year-old lawyer Mandela is shown meeting with journalist and activist Ruth First (1925–1982) at the first convention of the African National Congress (ANC), where the anti-apartheid Defiance Campaign was originally conceived and planned. The historic press image was taken by German-born photojournalist Jürgen Schadeberg (b. 1931) for the South African cultural magazine Drum, where, as picture editor, he covered the apartheid years and em ployed outlawed black photographers like Ernest Cole and Peter Magubane. For his distinguished 60-year career in photography, much of it documenting the life of Nelson Mandela and the modern cultural history of South Africa, in 2014 Schadeberg was awarded ICPs highest honor, the Cornell Capa Lifetime Achievement Award.
