Born today in 1942, Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Clay) met photographer Gordon Parks in the 1960s, after the renowned boxer had become an international celebrity but also a divisive figure due to his status as a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War.

Gordon photographed Ali for a Life magazine feature, and authored the personal and revealing article that accompanied the images, kicking off a relationship between the two that would extend past the Life assignment.

From ICP's collection—Coretta Scott King hugging Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. outside of a Montgomery, Alabama courtroom.

The Kings were both social activists, with their home serving as a place for gatherings related to civil rights work as well as church groups. The two would strategize, work to craft King's compelling speeches and sermons, and travel around the world together, united in their commitment to social justice.

Opening at ICP the evening of January 26, Between Friends: From the ICP Collection presents seven decades of photographers portraying their friends in snapshots and casual studio portraits, providing rare glimpses of moments of intimacy and collaboration.

The exhibition features portraits of artists and writers such as Leonard Bernstein, Truman Capote, Helen Frankenthaler, Georgia O’Keefe, and Saul Steinberg by well-known photographers and artists including Ansel Adams, Berenice Abbott, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Alfred Stieglitz, and Andy Warhol. Between Friends also calls attention to many women photographers from ICP’s collection, including Nell Dorr, Lotte Jacobi, Consuelo Kanaga, and Barbara Morgan.

Between Friends, which marks the continuance of ICP's new series of exhibitions drawn from the collection, is curated by Sara Ickow. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3GGaCON.

Opening soon—Face to Face: Portraits of Artists by Tacita Dean, Brigitte Lacombe and Catherine Opie features photographs and films that capture luminaries of our time from music, film, art, and literature. These works "offer us formality and intimacy, patience and curiosity, and the thrill of an unguarded moment,” said curator Helen Molesworth. “I see all three artists involved in making pictures that are not only in dialogue with their given subjects, but also with the history of the genre of portraiture and the medium of photography."

Face to Face will open with a community celebration the evening of Thursday, January 26. The exhibition will be on view simultaneously with Between Friends: From the ICP Collection.

"Close Enough...unfolds the complex gender dynamics that women experience behind the camera." —Hyperallergic

Close Enough excels in its investigation of gender and of the "boundaries of proximity" between subject and photographer, according to Hyperallergic. You only have through Monday to see the show, alongside Death in the Making, which continues the examination of the photographer-subject relationship, while shedding new light on the work of Gerda Taro, David "Chim" Seymour, and Robert Capa.

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.”
—Robert Capa

Close Enough: New Perspectives from 12 Women Photographers of Magnum takes its name from Robert Capa's famous quote, examining the idea of what it means for a photographer to "get close" to their subject. Join us tomorrow on one of the final days of the exhibition from 1–1:30 PM for the last installment in the Getting Closer series, where Nanna Heitman and Myriam Boulos will discuss their projects on view and their relationship with their subjects.

When Cristina de Middel placed an ad in Rio de Janeiro newspapers offering to pay male clients of s*x workers for an hour of their time, the response was overwhelming. de Middel began photographing and interviewing clientele, claiming the position of the “client” that the men traditionally occupied—booking a hotel room for an hour, then paying the men the same amount that they would pay a s*x worker. The result, her ongoing project Gentlemen’s Club (2015–2022) moves between global locations and cultures, providing intimate encounters with the men who responded to de Middel’s invitation.

Learn more about the project by visiting us through Monday, January 9. https://www.icp.org/exhibitions/close-enough-new-perspectives-from-12-women-photographers-of-magnum

Bieke Depoorter met Agata Kay by chance in a strip bar in Paris. This encounter would be the beginning of Depoorter’s multiyear, multiform project Agata (2017–2020), which examines the complex relationship between photographer and subject, including the negotiation of creating public engagements and exhibitions. Intertwined narratives are threaded via a combination of images and letters between Depoorter and Kay, with the dialogue always returning to the ever-present reflex of self-awareness and self-reflection. Agata is a project that never lands on any sort of conclusive truth, highlighting the slippery nature of depiction in situations where power, responsibility, and control are in a constant state of flux.

See the project in "Close Enough," at ICP through January 9: https://www.icp.org/exhibitions/close-enough-new-perspectives-from-12-women-photographers-of-magnum.

Gerda Taro was one of the first women to be recognized as a photojournalist, and as such, the first to be killed while reporting on war. Taro traveled back and forth from Paris to Spain for the first year of the Spanish Civil War; while covering the Battle of Brunete in 1937, she was struck by a tank and died—resulting in Robert Capa dedicating the book Death in the Making, about the war, to her.

Taro's work, while a fundamental part of Death in the Making, was not properly credited for years. In ICP's exhibition Death in the Making: Reexamining the Iconic Spanish Civil War Photobook, new scholarship by curator Cynthia Young reveals the full breadth of Taro's photographic contributions to the book, as well as why this cause spoke so keenly to the photographers involved in its creation.

"A poignant message from the other side, a reminder to be serious about play and maybe not too serious about life. A book full of indispensable pictures taken with a disposable camera."

Darin Mickey, ICP's Chair for our One-Year Certificate Creative Practices Program, weighs in on his ICP Staff Pick from the shop—Ray Johnson: Please Send to Real Life, by Joel Smith.

Drawn from four years of research and interviews with over 100 women, Newsha Tavakolian’s haunting film For the Sake of Calmness (2020) centers on the experience of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and the more severe premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). The film's long, almost dream-like shots of landscapes and people, paired with Tavakolian's guiding monologue, convey a range of complex and amorphous emotions.

See the film for yourself at ICP before January 9. Learn more: https://www.icp.org/exhibitions/close-enough-new-perspectives-from-12-women-photographers-of-magnum

A perfect first day of winter image by George Gilbert—that face says it all.

George Gilbert was a freelance photographer for the New York Times, Newsweek, and more publications, as well as an advertising photographer—in fact, it was his apprenticeship at a commercial photo studio, which he completed after dropping out of Brooklyn College, that began his career in the field. During WWII Gilbert joined the US Air Force to aerially map locations using photography, also training military in the techniques needed to build out these kinds of maps.

In his images of the streets of New York, William Klein “never attempt[s] to be invisible, he is unmistakably part of each situation—interacting, collaborating, sharing, celebrating… These are willfully immersive photographs, and all the richer for it,” says David Campany, curator of "William Klein: YES; Photographs, Paintings, Films, 1948–2013," on view now at ICP.

Who is William Klein? “For a long time, Klein was known as either a fashion photographer or a street photographer or a filmmaker, as different audiences knew and valued different aspects of his work. Only in recent years has the scope of his achievements begun to be recognized." —David Campany, ICP Curator at Large Want more Klein?
