SUMMARY:Picture Library 2025
DESCRIPTION:School of Visual Arts (SVA) BFA Photography and Video presents its annual exhibition “Picture Library 2025\,” organized in collaboration with the SVA Library and featuring a selection of the class of 2025’s Senior Monographs alongside books from the College’s Library that have inspired their work. The exhibition will be on view from Friday\, October 24\, through Saturday\, November 15\, 2025\, at the SVA Gramercy Gallery\, 209 East 23rd Street\, New York City. \nThis special edition of the show surveys all prior iterations of Picture Library from 2018 – 2024\, collectively showcasing previously exhibited Senior Monographs along with their inspiration books in an adjacent reading room. Of the exhibition\, department Chair\, Joseph Maida\, says\, “We hope that this expanded version of Picture Library encourages visitors from the SVA community and beyond to spend time with pictures in books. One of the most impactful vehicles for circulating photographs to global audiences over the last two centuries\, the printed image meaningfully endures in the digital age.”  \nAlumni from the class of 2025 featured in this exhibition are Alexia Haick\, Martins da Silveira\, Adison James\, Yinong Li\, Samantha Molinelli\, Shane Singh\, Zixuan Wang\, Yu-Shan Sammi Wei\, and John Yuhas. Their work is inspired by celebrated artists\, including Olivia Locher\, Tim Walker\, Masao Yamamoto\, Bruce Davidson\, Ken Schles\, Sophie Calle\, Rinko Kawauchi\, and Roberto Bolaño. \nThis show is made possible because of the support and collaboration of the SVA Library. Special thanks to Caitlin Kilgallen\, Director\, and David Shuford\, Cataloger\, for the invaluable resources they provide to our community. \nhttps://sva.edu/events/bfa-photography-and-video-exhibition-fall-2025

SUMMARY:Naima Green: Instead\, I spin fantasies
DESCRIPTION:The International Center of Photography (ICP) is proud to present Instead\, I spin fantasies\, an exhibition by Naima Green that grapples with the concept of pregnancy through constructed self-portraits\, landscapes and still-lifes—blurring the line between documentary and performance. Green probes the conventional expectations and representational tropes of motherhood\, while also creating an expanded space for considering the experience of pregnancy in America. \nCurated by Guest Curator Elisabeth Sherman\, Instead\, I spin fantasies brings together dozens of new works\, including photographs printed using the historical technologies of albumen and lumen printing processes\, along with a site-specific vinyl installation that utilizes the architecture of ICP’s third floor galleries. \nAbout Naima Green  \nNaima Green is an artist and educator who pictures individuals and communities to document their vibrant relationships to place and pleasure. She engages with various photographic forms\, sound\, and experimental film. Throughout her collaborative practice\, Green accesses and prioritizes the nature of intimacy\, safety\, and self-recognition. Often working in lush and watery environments\, she presents windows into multidimensional experiences of seawater and its pathways: beauty\, buoyancy\, overwhelm\, and submersion. Oral and written histories are critical to her process; by synthesizing archival research with outreach and conversation with current sitters\, she frames picture-making as a continuum and her still images as kinetic\, living histories. \nGreen has had solo exhibitions at Astor Weeks\, Baxter St at CCNY\, and Fotografiska\, all NY\, and the Institute of Contemporary Art at VCU\, Richmond\, VA. She has exhibited in group shows at the Getty Research Institute\, University of Texas at Austin\, Mass MoCA\, BRIC\, Studio Museum in Harlem\, Bronx Museum of the Arts\, and Houston Center for Photography\, among others. She has been an artist-in-residence at Fountainhead Arts\, Baxter St at CCNY\, Bronx Museum\, Center for Photography at Woodstock\, MASS MoCA\, Penumbra Foundation\, Pocoapoco\, and Vermont Studio Center. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Barnard College Library\, Decker Library at MICA\, Flaten Art Museum\, Fleet Library at RISD\, The Getty Research Institute\, Hessel Museum of Art\, High Museum of Art\, International Center of Photography Library\, Museum of Modern Art Library\, Hirsch Library at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, National Gallery of Art\, Smart Museum of Art\, Smith College Museum of Art\, and Teachers College\, Columbia University. Green holds a BA from Barnard College\, Columbia University\, an MA from Teachers College\, Columbia University\, and an MFA from ICP-Bard. \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/naima-green

SUMMARY:Sergio Larraín: Wanderings
DESCRIPTION:The International Center of Photography presents Sergio Larraín: Wanderings\, an exhibition consisting of prints drawn entirely from the Magnum Photos archive. Curated by Agnès Sire\, former Director of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson\, Paris\, the exhibition primarily highlights the work Larraín made during the first twenty years of his career\, in cities such as Valparaíso\, Santiago\, Paris and London. \nWanderings provides a new perspective on Larraín’s inventive and humanist photography that for decades has remained little seen and seldom exhibited\, looking at both the material and spiritual drama of rural and urban life while also charting the subtle evolution of Larraín’s style. \n  \nAbout Sergio Larraín  \nSergio Larraín\, born in 1931 in Santiago into a Chilean family rich in art and culture\, studied forestry at University of California\, Berkeley and the University of Michigan. He became a freelance photographer\, worked for O Cruzeiro magazine\, and received a British Council scholarship in 1958. He joined Magnum Photos a year later after meeting Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris. Larraín’s notable series include Vagabond Children (1957)\, London (1958–59)\, and Valparaíso (1952–62). In 1963\, he published his first book\, El rectangulo en lamano. Later in life\, he collaborated with Pablo Neruda and focused on transcendental meditation. Larraín passed away in 2012 at his home in Tulahuén\, Chile.  \nAbout Agnes Sire  \nAfter a master in philosophy and esthetics\, Agnès Sire worked at Alexandre Iolas Gallery in Paris before joining the team of the Magnum Photos Paris office. She worked there as artistic director for 20 years and has been co-author of several collective Magnum projects such as Magnum Cinema and Behind the iron curtain. She also handled the publication of various individual photographers’ books like Henri Cartier-Bresson: Mexican note book or Valparaiso and London by Sergio Larraín. She taught for two years at Sorbonne University and in 2004 she became director of Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris. For 15 years\, she was the curator of most of the 45 exhibitions presented there.  \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/sergio-larrain

SUMMARY:Seydou Keïta: A Tactile Lens
DESCRIPTION:Encounter an artist who changed the face of portrait photography. Seydou Keïta: A Tactile Lens is the most expansive North American exhibition of the legendary Malian photographer’s work to date. Nearly 275 works include iconic prints\, never-before-seen portraits\, textiles\, and Keïta’s personal artifacts\, all brought to life with unique insights from his family. \nOrganized by the Brooklyn Museum\, the exhibition brings us to Bamako from the late 1940s to early 1960s\, an era of profound political and social transformation. Collaborating closely with his sitters\, Keïta recorded Mali’s evolution through their choices of backdrops\, accessories\, and apparel\, from traditional finery to European suits. These bold yet sensitive photographs began to circulate in West Africa nearly 80 years ago. In the early 1990s\, they reached Western viewers\, rocking the art world and cementing Keïta as the premier studio photographer of 20th-century Africa—a peer of August Sander\, Irving Penn\, and Richard Avedon. \nWitness the power of photography through these richly layered images\, which reveal not only Malians’ emotional landscapes but also the textures of life in a rapidly changing country. \n A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition\, offering new insights into the photographer\, his work\, and Malian material culture. The publication features a biography by Catherine E. McKinley based on extensive interviews with Keïta’s heirs\, as well as essays by prominent scholars and curators including Drew Sawyer\, Howard W. French\, Duncan Clarke\, Awa Konate\, Sana Ginwalla\, and Jennifer Bajorek. \nhttps://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/seydou-keita

SUMMARY:Ken Ohara: CONTACTS
DESCRIPTION:Ken Ohara: CONTACTS is artist Ken Ohara‘s (b. 1942) first U.S. institutional solo exhibition. Featuring twenty-two photographs and four accompanying documents from his groundbreaking series CONTACTS (1974–76)\, this exhibition showcases Ohara’s innovative photographic experiment\, where he mailed a preloaded camera to strangers across the U.S.\, instructing them to document their own lives before passing the camera along. During this process\, Ohara relinquished authorship\, decentralizing his point of view but rather facilitating and cocreating a uniquely personal and democratic portrait of Americans and American life at a time of economic and political unrest.    \nThe resulting “contact sheets\,” a recent acquisition to the Whitney’s collection\, are shown in chronological order and offer intimate glimpses into the lives of participants across thirty-six states. The exhibition explores themes of human connection and the collective synchronicities of mundane life utilizing the groundbreaking analog photography of the 1970s and contemporary image-sharing culture. \nhttps://whitney.org/exhibitions/ken-ohara \n

DESCRIPTION:MoMA PS1 presents the first US solo exhibition of photographer Inuuteq Storch (Kalaaleq\, b. 1989)\, tracing the artist’s practice over the past decade.

SUMMARY:Zora Sicher: Geography
DESCRIPTION:Geography marks the first monograph by Zora Sicher\, presenting fifteen years of photographic work created between the ages of fifteen and thirty. This body of work\, gathered for the first time in book form\, embodies a profound milestone at a pivotal moment in the artist’s life. The accompanying exhibition proposes a space that functions like a time capsule—an environment where closure and contemplation converge\, inviting visitors to encounter Sicher’s photographs as letters\, letters in the epistolary form but also letters that make up a language; a story of our ever moving selves in a world that rocks us and pushes us against its own walls. \nZora Sicher is a Brooklyn-based photographer whose work bridges the shifting terrain of photography\, merging its identity as a means for reproduction to create slivers of truths that may not be replicable. Sicher thinks of the camera as a mediating device between herself and the subject. Her photographs stand as ruptures to the silence of reality and time. Sicher studied photography at the Fashion Institute of Technology for two years before relocating to Mexico City in 2016 to attend the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). During her two years there\, she self-published her first photobook. Geography (Dashwood Books\, 2025) is her first monograph. She now lives and works in New York City. \nhttps://dashwoodprojects.com/zora-sicher

SUMMARY:Casa Susanna
DESCRIPTION:Casa Susanna brings together photographs and publications created by and for a community of cross-dressers who met regularly in New York City and the Catskill Mountains throughout the 1960s. Two modest resorts run by Susanna Valenti and her wife\, Marie Tornell\, provided safe spaces for guests to freely cross-dress en femme during an era of strictly defined gender roles. They used the camera to create and affirm their femme identities\, exchanging photographs at gatherings or sharing them by mail. These snapshots—some candid\, others playfully performative—were rediscovered at a Manhattan flea market in 2004 and have come to be known as the Casa Susanna photographs. The exhibition also features issues of Transvestia\, an underground magazine that published the photographs along with fiction\, poetry\, makeup and clothing advice\, and autobiographical essays by members of the community. \nDuring this period\, most cross-dressers lived in isolation and shame. The exhibition presents new research into the double lives cross-dressers led as married men with established careers. The photographs also bring to light the type of woman they aimed to embody—such as the “girl next door\,” the respectable housewife\, the matron—a middle-class ideal of femininity that was both liberating and limiting. Casa Susanna offers insight into a significant pre-Stonewall cross-dressing scene\, inviting visitors to understand this world and its connection to the lives of transgender people today. \nThe exhibition is organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario and Les Rencontres d’Arles in collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art. \nThe exhibition is made possible by The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation\, Inc. \nhttps://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/casa-susanna

SUMMARY:David Wojnarowicz: Arthur Rimbaud in New York
DESCRIPTION:During his first trip to France in 1978\, David Wojnarowicz (1954-1992) was keen to immerse himself in the Parisian environs where a century earlier poet Arthur Rimbaud had tried to live as a runaway teenager in the hopes of becoming a poet. Rimbaud’s short and peripatetic youth was memorialized in two volumes of poetry that\, in addition to propelling French literature into modernity\, have become obligatory reading to young poets across the globe\, who\, like him\, find in poetry a path to transcend the ordinary.\n \nUpon his return to New York\, Wojnarowicz was able to put in perspective the situation of decay and economic depression that brought the city to the brink of collapse\, intuitively connecting it with the state of anarchy that took over Paris during the years of the Commune in the early 1870s. This parallel also allowed him to understand his own predicament as the child of a disrupted household\, having to hone his survivor skills in the streets of New York at a very young age. Considered in this context\, the series of photo-performances that Wojnarowicz produced in collaboration with a small coterie of friends between 1978 and 1979 stands as an important document of the era that not only gives us entry into the artist’s state of mind at a turning point in his life—as he was making a transition from writing onto the visual arts—but that also documents areas of New York City that have been radically transformed.\n \nArthur Rimbaud in New York was first exhibited as an artwork at P.P.O.W gallery\, in 1990\, through a selection of 25 images. In 2004\, the series was published by P.P.O.W in collaboration with the Estate of David Wojnarowicz as a set of 44 photographs. In addition\, there is an undated portfolio of 32 test prints\, previously owned by Wojnarowicz’s partner Tom Rauffenbart. The present exhibition features a selection of images gathered from these three portfolios and the artist’s foundation. \nhttps://leslielohman.org/exhibitions/david-wojnarowicz

SUMMARY:Padron: Xan Intervals
DESCRIPTION:Galician photographer Xan Padrón (Ourense\, Spain\, 1969) received his first camera at the hands of the photojournalist Enrique Reza\, who awoke in him a passion for the photography of the everyday\, just as his father\, the journalist Luís Padrón\, awoke in him the patience to listen and observe stories. \nAfter diverse street photography projects in New York City (Human City\, Motion City\, Visions of New York)\, in 2011 he began his acclaimed project\, “Time Lapse”: a collection of portraits of various cities through the people who inhabit them. His series Time Lapse has been the focus of solo exhibitions at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City\, the Delamour Gallery in Paris (France)\, The Pfizer Building in New York\, the Sala Valente in Ourense (Spain)\, among other venues. Xan Padrón’s artwork is held in corporate and private collections across the globe. \nIn 2023\, Padrón was invited by the MTA Arts & Design Program to exhibit at the Bryant Park subway station in New York City. His work has been featured in international publications such as New England Review\, Die Zeit Magazine\, and Harvard Business Review\, as well as in the cover of academic anthologies like “Race\, Class and Gender in the United States” (MacMillan\, 2020) and “Personal Networks” (Cambridge University Press\, 2021). His Time Lapses were also selected for the Art on Link program by the City of New York.\nXan Padrón’s career as a photographer is deeply intertwined with his previous profession as a professional musician. For over a decade\, he toured with his bass and his camera\, capturing life surrounding the musicians he collaborated with. As a photographer of artists and concerts\, he has worked in an official capacity for APAP (Association of Performing Arts Professionals\, United States) and has contributed to publications such as Inside Arts and The Writer Magazine (United States). \nXan Padrón shares his life with musician\, educator\, and writer Cristina Pato. Since 2005\, he spends his time between Galicia and New York City and has his studio at Mana Contemporary (NJ). \nhttps://benrubigallery.com/exhibition/749/xan-padr%C3%B3n

SUMMARY:Kenro Izu: Mono no Aware
DESCRIPTION:“Art and life are intertwined for me and my thoughts have often turned to the notion of beauty as understood in both Western and Japanese contexts. Encounters with Noh masks sparked a deep curiosity in their human expressions\, a fascination that intensified with time. The gaze of the masks seemed to penetrate one’s inner being\, reminding me that to observe is also to be observed\,” states Izu. “My exploration of Noh extended to its origins\, rooted in Shinto traditions and the Jinja shrines of Japan. I was drawn particularly to shrine forests\, where sacred trees\, rocks\, and dense spiritual groves evoke a sense of timelessness. During the COVID-19 lockdown\, my focus shifted to nearby subjects—wildflowers and grasses arranged in clay vases made from locally sourced materials. The fleeting beauty of their unnoticed bloom and decay resonated deeply with me.  I continue to be reminded of how daily life and environment shape artistic creation.” \nhttps://www.howardgreenberg.com/exhibitions/kenro-izu

SUMMARY:Pamela Hanson - in the 90s
DESCRIPTION:In contrast to the posed fashion images so prevalent in magazines\, Pamela Hanson’s photographs convey a personal connection and a real friendship with her models who are engaged in fun\, joyful activities. As she began her career in Paris in the 1980’s\, Hanson roomed with models and tuned into their thinking\, ambitions and lifestyles – insight which served her well as her career progressed and she became one of the very few women working in the field at the time. This exhibition and the publication of her book The ’90s (Rizzoli) celebrate this distinct period in fashion and includes images that have never been published or exhibited previously. This book and these photographs are “a love letter to the decade that changed everything\,” says Hanson\, and they epitomize a relaxed and spirited era of style that has never been more relevant today. \nPamela Hanson was born in London\, grew up in Switzerland\, and attended the American School in Lugano and later the University of Colorado. Her interest in photography began early and she started her career while working as an assistant to Arthur Elgort. Her photographs of up-and-coming supermodels including Christy\, Linda\, and Kate appeared regularly in magazines such as VOGUE\, Harper’s Bazaar\, GQ\, Town and Country\, and Vanity Fair and she created print and video commercials for brands including Estée Lauder\, Ralph Lauren\, Supreme\, L’Oréal\, Dior\, and many others. Hanson directed a series of television spots to raise funds for finding a Juvenile Diabetes cure and has received an award from the Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP) for her “Family Stories” short documentary\, a public service announcement collaboration with The Partnership at Drugfree.org. Hanson’s work is included in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. \nhttps://www.staleywise.com/exhibitions/pamela-hanson

SUMMARY:Man Ray: When Objects Dream
DESCRIPTION:Location: The Met Fifth Avenue\, Floor 1\, Gallery 199\n \nThe Met to Present First Major Exhibition on Man Ray’s Media-Crossing Experimentation and his Radical Reinvention of Art through the Rayograph \n\nFeaturing 160 rayographs\, paintings\, objects\, prints\, drawings\, films\, and photographs\, Man Ray: When Objects Dream will highlight the principal place of the rayograph—a type of cameraless photograph—within the context of many of the artist’s most important works \n\nMan Ray: When Objects Dream at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the first major exhibition to examine the media-crossing\, radical experimentation of American artist Man Ray (1890–1976) through one of his most significant bodies of work\, the rayograph. Man Ray coined the term rayograph to name his version of the 19th-century technique of making photographs without a camera. He created them by placing objects on or near a sheet of light-sensitive paper\, which he then exposed to light and developed. These photograms—as they are also called—appear as reversed silhouettes\, or negative versions\, of their subjects. They often feature recognizable items that become wonderfully mysterious in the artist’s hands. Their transformative nature led the Dada poet Tristan Tzara to describe rayographs as capturing the moments “when objects dream.” While Man Ray acknowledged the photographic origins of his new works\, he did not think of them as strictly bound by medium. Taking Man Ray’s lead\, this presentation will be the first—more than a century since he introduced the rayograph—to situate this signature accomplishment in relation to his larger artistic output. The exhibition will be on view September 14\, 2025\, through February 1\, 2026. \nThe exhibition is made possible by the Barrie A. and Deedee Wigmore Foundation. \nMajor funding is provided by Linda Macklowe\, the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation\, and Andrea Krantz and Harvey Sawikin. \nAdditional support is provided by the Vanguard Council. \nDrawing from the collections of The Met and more than 50 U.S. and international lenders\, the presentation will include more than 60 rayographs\, many of which were featured in important publications and exhibitions at the time of their making\, and 100 paintings\, objects\, prints\, drawings\, films\, and photographs to highlight the central role of the rayograph in Man Ray’s boundary-breaking practice. The exhibition marks a collaboration with the Lens Media Lab\, Yale University\, under the direction of Paul Messier\, and with photography conservators and curators at various lending institutions\, to study more than fifty rayographs. \n“As one of the most fascinating and multi-faceted artists in the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century\, Man Ray challenged traditional narratives of modernism through his daring experimentation with diverse artistic mediums\,” said Max Hollein\, The Met’s Marina Kellen French Director and Chief Executive Officer. “Anchored by Man Ray’s innovative and mesmerizing rayographs along with new research and discoveries\, this exhibition invites visitors to explore his ground-breaking manipulation of objects\, light\, and media\, which profoundly reframed his artistic practice and impacted countless other artists.” \nIn the winter of 1921\, while working late in his Paris darkroom\, Man Ray inadvertently produced a photogram by placing some of his glass equipment on top of an unexposed sheet of photographic paper he found among the prints in his developing tray. As he wrote in his 1963 autobiography\, “Before my eyes an image began to form\, not quite a simple silhouette of the objects as in a straight photograph\, but distorted and refracted … In the morning I examined the results\, pinning a couple of the Rayographs—as I decided to call them—on the wall. They looked startlingly new and mysterious.” This supposed accident\, now the stuff of legend\, has obscured the fact that rayographs might be seen as the culmination of Man Ray’s work up to 1921 as well as the frame through which he would redefine his work thereafter. They harnessed his interests in working between dimensions\, media\, and artistic traditions\, fittingly at the moment between Dada and Surrealism\, which writer Louis Aragon once called the mouvement flou (flou means “hazy\, blurry\, or out of focus” in French). \nUnfolding in a series of spaces that intersect with a central\, dramatic presentation of more than 60 rayographs\, the exhibition will illuminate their connections with Man Ray’s work in other media\, including assemblages\, rarely seen paintings\, and films. Thematic sections will highlight such concepts as dreams\, the body\, and games. Other groupings will focus on specific media\, unexpected techniques\, the artist’s studio\, and watershed moments\, such as the years 1923 and 1929\, in the artist’s production. \nOn view will be iconic objects like Man Ray’s iron studded with tacks\, known as Gift (1921)\, and his metronome\, Object to be Destroyed (1923)\, that keeps time with the swinging eye of his companion\, the photographer Lee Miller. Celebrated photographs\, including his landmark Violon d’Ingres (1924)\, in which the torso of Kiki de Montparnasse (Alice Prin) is depicted as a musical instrument\, will also be featured. The exhibition will also bring together some of his boldest but most refined experimental works—compositions like ANPOR (1919)\, a painting made with an airbrush and pigment sprayed through and around objects in his studio. A section of the exhibition will feature several little-known paintings made at a moment when Man Ray had publicly sworn off the “sticky medium of paint” but had returned to the canvas armed with the lessons of making rayographs. Works such as Swedish Landscape (1926) show the artist applying pigment without a brush\, working it in an almost sculptural way\, building up and scraping down the surface. Three of Man Ray’s films (all of which have been newly restored) will be screened in the exhibition. \nhttps://www.metmuseum.org/press-releases/man-ray

SUMMARY:New Photography 2025: Lines of Belonging
DESCRIPTION:MoMA\, Floor 3\, 3 South \n“Love is the key that takes cultures from oppression to joy. As a political unifier\, the contract—love—takes on a liberating force\,” artist Sabelo Mlangeni has said. Marking the 40th anniversary of New Photography\, this exhibition brings together 13 artists and collectives who explore sites of belonging and forms of interconnectedness. Some of the artists weave personal stories within broader political histories to explore intergenerational memory. Others reimagine the idea of the archive to disrupt narratives of the past and imagine future communities. \nLines of Belonging highlights artists working in four cities that have existed as centers of life\, creativity\, and communion for longer than the nation states in which they are presently situated. From Kathmandu to New Orleans\, Johannesburg to Mexico City\, these creative practitioners offer slowness\, persistence\, and care as an antidote to the viral\, profit-driven speed of contemporary image consumption\, metadata technologies\, and artificial intelligence. \nPresenting their work at MoMA for the first time\, the artists and collectives include Sandra Blow\, Tania Franco Klein\, and Lake Verea (Francisca Rivero-Lake and Carla Verea)\, who live and work in Mexico City; Gabrielle Goliath\, Lebohang Kganye\, Sabelo Mlangeni\, and Lindokuhle Sobekwa\, who live and work in Johannesburg; Nepal Picture Library\, Sheelasha Rajbhandari\, and Prasiit Sthapit\, who live and work in Kathmandu; and L. Kasimu Harris\, Renee Royale\, and Gabrielle Garcia Steib\, who live and work in New Orleans. \nOrganized by Lucy Gallun\, Curator; Roxana Marcoci\, Acting Chief Curator and The David Dechman Senior Curator; Oluremi C.

SUMMARY:Robert Rauschenberg’s New York: Pictures from the Real World
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition\n \n\nIn celebration of the centennial of Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008)\, and in partnership with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation\, the Museum of the City of New York (MCNY) presents Robert Rauschenberg’s New York: Pictures from the Real World\, a major exhibition opening on September 12\, 2025. This dynamic show explores Rauschenberg’s innovative integration of photography and found objects into his art\, reflecting his deep engagement with “the real world” and his complex relationship with New York City.  \nWidely regarded as one of the most influential artists of postwar New York\, Rauschenberg’s irreverent approach to art-making pushed the envelope for an entire generation\, reshaping the art world in New York and around the world. At the heart of his practice was a desire to incorporate the tangible world around him into his art. Gathering materials and inspiration from his surroundings\, he often brought found objects and images sourced or reproduced from magazines and newspapers into his paintings and sculptures. But Rauschenberg was not merely a user of found imagery; he was also a photographer with a bold creative vision— an essential aspect of his artistic practice that is the focus of the exhibition.  \nThe show is organized into three sections—Early Photographs\, In + Out City Limits\, and Photography in Painting—tracing the evolution of Rauschenberg’s photographic practice and its interplay with painting\, sculpture\, and assemblage. His earliest images are largely intimate portraits and experiments with formal elements such as framing\, light and shadow\, and flattening the picture plane. The centerpiece of the exhibition is In + Out City Limits\, a three-year (1979–81) photographic survey conducted across the United States—a project Rauschenberg had originally conceived decades earlier as a student at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. His New York photographs from this project reveal his fascination with the signs and symbols of human culture\, even in the most humble or discarded remnants of the city. Together\, these photographs emphasize his observational rigor and his constant effort to channel the fleeting\, ineffable moments of life into his work—revealing a deep sensitivity to the social landscape.  \nIn addition\, the exhibition presents a selection of works created between 1963 and 1994 that combine Rauschenberg’s New York City photographs with images taken around the world\, illustrating how he re-contextualized his photographic imagery through his innovative creative process.  \nAbout Rauschenberg 100 \nRobert Rauschenberg’s (1925-2008) strong conviction that engagement with art can nurture people’s sensibilities as individuals\, community members\, and citizens was key to his ethos. The Centennial celebrations seek to allow audiences familiar with him and those encountering the artist for the first time to form fresh perspectives about his art work. A year of global activities and exhibitions in honor of Rauschenberg’s Centennial reexamines the artist through a contemporary lens\, highlighting his enduring influence on generations of artists and advocates for social progress. The Centennial’s activation of the artist’s legacy promotes cross-disciplinary explorations and creates opportunities for critical dialogue.

DESCRIPTION:Pace is pleased to present an exhibition of work by photographer Paolo Roversi at its 508 West 25th Street gallery in New York. Opening on September 12\, during New York Fashion Week\, and running through October 25\, this focused retrospective will feature works produced by Roversi between the early 1990s and the present\, highlighting the artist’s relationships with his many collaborators in the fashion industry.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoversi’s upcoming exhibition with Pace in New York—his first solo show with the gallery since 2019—will present an overview of his storied career through a selection of photographs created over the past 35 years.“Every portrait is a meeting\, an exchange\, a mutual intimate confession\,” Roversi has said of his work. The show will shed light on Roversi’s legacy as the artist behind some of the most iconic fashion images of our time. \nDrawing inspiration from the work of August Sander\, Robert Frank\, and Diane Arbus\, Roversi developed a distinctive style that is deeply influenced by the Byzantine architecture and rich cultural history of his birthplace\, Ravenna\, Italy. “Paolo’s photography is timeless\,” Sylvie Lécallier\, curator Roversi’s 2024 exhibition at the Palais Galliera in Paris\, said in an interview last year. “It is detached from the spirit of the times\, from the ephemeral trends of fashion. It is located both at the heart of fashion and at the edge.” \nMade with Polaroid film and mostly taken in his Parisian studio\, Roversi’s dreamlike\, enigmatic images are imbued with a classical sensibility. His studio\, he has said\, “is a place for the chance\, the dream\, the imaginary to prevail. I give these forces as much space as I can.”\n \n\n\n\nhttps://www.pacegallery.com/exhibitions/paolo-roversi-2025/

SUMMARY:Suniko Bazargarid: Where would we find you if we need to find you?
DESCRIPTION:BAXTER ST at the Camera Club of New York is pleased to present Where would we find you if we\nneed to find you?\, an exhibition of new and recent works by Mongolian photographer and 2025 BAXTER ST Resident\, Suniko Bazargarid. On view from September 10\, 2025 – November 12\, 2025\, the exhibition weaves together personal and archival imagery to explore the psychological\, spatial\, and bureaucratic tensions that shape the experience of migration and memory. \nDrawing on her own transitory upbringing between Boston\, Singapore\, Bangkok\, and Mongolia\, Bazargarid explores the contrast between intimacy and distance\, reflecting her many departures and returns. Analog and digital photography\, interspersed with documents such as passports\, ID photos\, and stamps\, form layered visual essays that expose the logistical challenges of crossing borders. These are set against the emotional and spiritual weight of displacement—the desire to leave\, the pull to return\, and the uncanny experience of encountering one’s homeland as a visitor. Through these layered journeys\, the work also gestures toward the evolving\, and at times\, elusive nature of diasporic identity\, shaped as much by migration\, memory\, and landscape as by inherited tradition.\nThe exhibition’s title comes from a question asked of the artist by a border patrol officer. “Where would we find you if we need to find you?” is both a practical inquiry and a charged reminder of regulation\, visibility\, and control.\nImages of expansive Mongolian landscapes appear throughout the work\, providing visual stillness and moments of reflection. These open vistas are juxtaposed with everyday details— multilingual signage\,and stamped passport pages—that raise questions about what we carry with us\, what we leave behind\, and how space is transformed by presence and absence. \nAbout Suniko Bazargarid\nBorn in Ulaanbaatar\, Suniko is a Mongolian photographer who spent her early years in Boston before living in Singapore\, Bangkok\, and now New York. Her practice is deeply shaped by her nomadic experiences\, exploring the complexities of people and places through themes of migration\, identity\, and the fluidity of memory. Working with both film and digital photography\, she examines the intersections of personal and societal narratives\, from collage work to intimate portraits of places\, often reflecting on those that have shaped her. Her work has been exhibited internationally in cities such as Bangkok\, Paris\, and New York\, and published in outlets like AP\, Forbes\, The Diplomat\, and Musee Magazine. In 2023\, she graduated from the International Center of Photography\, where she was awarded the Arnold Newman Scholarship and the Director’s Fellowship. Most recently she exhibited as part of UB Photo Week 2025 and Art Week 2025 in Ulaanbaatar\, Mongolia. \nhttps://www.baxterst.org/events/where-would-we-find-you-if-we-need-to-find-you/ \n

SUMMARY:One of One (Group Show)
DESCRIPTION:ABRI MARS is thrilled to present One of One\, a group exhibition curated by Aaron Stern featuring photographic works by Daniel Arnold\, Juan Brenner\, Mike Brodie\, Mark Borthwick\, Rebekka Deubner\, Philip-Lorca diCorcia\, Barbara Ess\, Jerry Hsu\, Shaniqwa Jarvis\, Irina Rozovsky\, Gray Sorrenti\, and Mario Sorrenti. Marking the gallery’s one-year anniversary on the eve of New York Fashion Week\, this exhibition confronts the ceaseless proliferation of image-making at a time when online syntheticity holds sway\, alternatively offering to engage with photography as a material object.  \nIn One of One\, curator Aaron Stern asks us to reconsider the photograph as more than an image—a physical object that demands to be experienced in person. In an era where most pictures exist digitally\, viewed fleetingly on screen before disappearing into an endless scroll\, this exhibition calls for a return to presence and materiality. \nPhotographs today often live as detritus\, stored on our phones and in the heap of the internet\, stripped of their physicality. This collection of works pushes against that trend\, celebrating the photograph as an object that carries weight\, texture\, and story that cannot be fully conveyed through a screen. \nThe works in One of One include Polaroids\, prints\, collage\, and photograms\, demonstrating the richness of engaging with photography in its tangible form. Polaroids\, with their instant and singular nature\, offer intimacy and immediacy; prints\, demanding closer inspection\, evoke a sense of quiet discovery; collage\, with peripheral elements such as handwritten notes\, creased paper\, or torn edges; and photograms\, expressing the delicately powerful nature of light as a physical medium\, reminding us that photographs are as much about the context of their creation as the image itself. \nThis exhibition is an invitation to experience photographs as they were meant to be seen: in person\, where their material presence and physical nuances resonate. It is a call to value photography as more than a fleeting digital record\, to re-engage with its potential to preserve\, provoke\, and endure. In doing so\, One of One underscores photography’s role not only as art\, but as an artifact of human connection and memory. \nhttps://abrimars.com/exhibitions/one-of-one

SUMMARY:Samuel Fosso: Autoportrait
DESCRIPTION:Yossi Milo is pleased to announce Samuel Fosso’s debut solo exhibition with the gallery\, which opens to the public on Wednesday\, September 3\, 2025\, with a reception from 6-8 PM. This is Fosso’s first solo exhibition in New York in more than two decades\, and spans more than thirty years of his practice\, showcasing works from his series 70s Lifestyle and African Spirits. The exhibition follows the unveiling of an installation of the artist’s photographs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s newly renovated Michael C. Rockefeller Wing earlier this year; the exhibition also precedes the artist’s inclusion in Ideas of Africa: Portraiture and Political Imagination\, a survey of African studio photography at the Museum of Modern Art curated by Oluremi Onabanjo and opening on December 14\, 2025. \nOver his decades-long career\, Cameroonian-Nigerian photographer Samuel Fosso (b. 1962; Kumba\, Cameroon) has deployed self-portraiture to innovate on storied traditions of studio photography from West Africa and beyond. Since the debut of Fosso’s work on a global stage when he was awarded First Prize at the Rencontres de la Photographie in Bamako\, Mali in 1994\, the artist has used his practice as a conduit for questions central to identity: How can self-representation reclaim African identity from colonial imagery? How is Fosso’s personal history reflected in collective history? And\, critically\, how does photography assist in resisting erasure? Collector and author Artur Walther writes in his foreword for AUTOPORTRAIT\, a 2020 monograph of the artist’s work: “Since the days of his experimental self-portraits\, made as a teenager in the 1970s in a commercial studio in Bangui\, the Central African Republic\, [Fosso] has constantly explored the mythmaking potential of the camera. In his self-portraits\, he amplifies himself and yet becomes someone else entirely.” \nAcross all his work\, and beginning with his earliest series 70s Lifestyle (1975-78)\, Fosso intuitively pulls back the curtain\, collapsing subject and subjectivity by depicting himself\, the photographer. 70s Lifestyle was incepted in 1975 at Photo Studio Nationale\, the photography venture the artist opened at just thirteen\, three years after fleeing from Nigeria’s civil war to Bangui\, the Central African Republic. After hours busy with customers taking headshots\, portraits\, and passport photos\, Fosso would photograph himself with the last few frames in a roll of film to send to his grandmother in Nigeria. Over time\, the practice took on the capricious qualities of a true artist’s process. In an interview with the late Okwui Enwezor\, curator of the 56th Venice Biennale\, Fosso shared: “Sometimes when I made photographs I was not satisfied with\, where I didn’t feel beautiful inside\, I would cut up the negatives instead of printing them… I did not know I was making art photography. What I did know is I was transforming myself into what I wanted to become.” Fosso’s early interest in photography was driven by his own exclusion from photographic record: as a child\, Fosso\, partially paralyzed\, disabled\, and displaced\, was not pictured until he was ten years old. Eventually\, this erasure would spell out the social value of representation to the artist\, and self-portraiture would show a way to enter himself into an archive with agency. \nIn the vintage black-and-white self-portraits of 70s Lifestyle\, Fosso shows his keen understanding of the fashion of the time\, of his body\, and of the formal qualities of the photographs themselves. Every image varies despite their consistent elements: figure\, outfit\, backdrop\, lights. The trappings of the studio are transfigured by Fosso into shapes influenced by imported magazines and popular African singers. The artist screens himself behind dividers\, dresses up and down\, holds props\, and\, most critically\, looks directly into his camera’s lens. This produces a gestalt that reflects a pop sensibility and uses the commercial as a site of metamorphosis. 70s Lifestyle makes the processes inherent to studio photography self-aware and selfreferential\, and brings Fosso and the viewer into a mutual contract of observation. \nFosso would continue this reflexive notion of spectatorship would continue in the following decades\, which over time would continue to expand in the scope of its inquiry. The artist’s landmark series African Spirits (2008) orients his practice of self-depiction towards a politically-minded act of channeling. Across fourteen stark monochrome images\, Fosso casts himself as figures key to African and diasporic histories. By inhabiting visages like Angela Davis\, Miles Davis\, Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, Patrice Lumumba\, Nelson Mandela\, Tommie Smith\, Malcolm X\, and more\, the artist connects a web of historical movements into a unified arc of Black liberation on a global scale. The series was initially conceived as an investigation into the global impact of slavery\, and grew into an inspirational review of figures committed to human dignity and the reclamation of culture. Ultimately\, it sought to correct a problem of institutional underrepresentation. Though concerned with history\, each of these images is only a partial restaging of its source\, a détournement from icon into iconography. Fosso strips away the backgrounds behind each subject\, lending each composition a graphic quality. Streamlined and simplified\, these figures become the symbolic forms they take in collective memory. \nFosso’s oeuvre becomes an evaluation of the deep significance of photography in the modern era\, from the historic to the contemporary; from the documentary to the constructed. A thread emerges in tracing the evolution from 70s Lifestyle through African Spirits: an emergence of the self-portrait as something more\, an advancement of concern from the personal to the historical. In an almost atavistic process\, Fosso harnesses this essential power of photography to show collective and historic truths. \nWorks by Samuel Fosso are held in permanent collections around the globe\, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Museum of Modern Art; Studio Museum in Harlem; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; J. Paul Getty Museum; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; as well as the Musée des Beaux-Arts; Tate Modern; Victoria & Albert Museum; Musée National d’Art Moderne; Centre Pompidou; Fondation Louis Vuitton\, and Deutsche Bank\, among others. Fosso has mounted solo exhibitions at institutions including the Walther Collection; National Portrait Gallery; Princeton University Art Museum; Museum der Moderne; Museo de Canal\, and Jack Shainman Gallery\, among others. In 2023\, the Menil Collection\, presented a solo exhibition of Fosso’s entire African Spirits series. Fosso has exhibited work in prominent group exhibitions internationally\, including at the International Center of Photography; Art Institute of Chicago; Fotomuseum; Barbican Art Gallery; Museum of Contemporary Art; Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art; Museum of Contemporary Art; Stephen Friedman Gallery\, and Gagosian Gallery. The artist has been awarded prizes such as the Prix Afrique en Creations in 1995; First Prize for photography at the Dak’Art Biennale de l’Art Africain Contemporain\, Dakar\, Senegal in 2000\, and Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize in 2023. Fosso lives and works between Bangui\, Central African Republic and Paris\, France. \nhttps://yossimilo.com/exhibitions/192/press_release_text/

SUMMARY:Michael Kenna–Japan / A Love Story
DESCRIPTION:ICP is excited to host this exhibition sponsored and presented by Nikkei and the Financial Times as part of their 10-year celebrations\, underscoring a shared commitment to the arts and cross-cultural exchange\, and photography’s unique ability to shape how we see the world.  \nMichael Kenna’s journey with Japan spans nearly 40 years—a story of dedication\, devotion\, and wonder. His photographs are quiet meditations\, capturing not just a place\, but a feeling\, a presence. \nMichael has taught me so much—his passion\, his humility\, and the way he shares his vision so generously. His images invite us to see the world differently\, to slow down\, to feel. That is what great photography does—it connects us across time\, cultures\, and emotions. \nWhat I’ve always admired is the way Michael creates space—for the landscape to speak\, and for us to listen. He’s not trying to impress; he’s trying to understand. And in doing so\, he helps us do the same. His photographs carry a sense of stillness\, of care\, of deep respect for the land and the people connected to it. There’s a quiet poetry to it all—rooted in tradition but always reaching toward something universal.  \nThis exhibition\, made possible through the generosity of Nikkei and the Financial Times\, brings that spirit to life. Thanks to their support\, Michael’s work has reached thousands. People have described the experience as moving\, uplifting—something close to visual poetry. The response has been heartfelt. The Japan Society put it best: “Simply beautiful and inspiring—please go and see it with your own eyes.” I couldn’t agree more.  \nPeter Fetterman \nAbout The Artist \nMichael Kenna (he/him) is a British photographer based in the United States\, best known for his black-and-white landscape photographs that capture quiet\, atmospheric moments often made with long exposures at dawn or night. \nIn addition to his personal work\, Michael’s photographs have been exhibited widely in galleries and museums across Europe\, Asia\, and the Americas\, and are held in major public collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C. He has published numerous monographs and continues to influence generations of photographers with his minimalist and meditative style. \nhttps://www.icp.org/exhibitions/japan-a-love-story
