Gordon Parks and Robert Mapplethorpe are included in the group exhibition, ‘ICP at 50: From the Collection, 1845–2019’ at the International Centre of Photography (ICP), New York
Kicking off ICP’s 50th anniversary year, ‘ICP at 50: From the Collection, 1845–2019’ is a thematic exploration of the many photographic processes that comprise the medium’s history, presenting works from ICP’s deep holdings of photography collected over 50 years since ICP was established in 1974. The exhibition will also offer insight into the breadth and depth of ICP’s collection with historically critical images and media that include images taken of the surface of the moon by NASA in 1966, as well as activist posters from the 1980s and ‘90s groups ACT UP, Gran Fury, and fierce pussy.
