From September 9th until January 8th 2012, the International Center of Photography in New York City will be featuring three distinct exhibitions that are said to shed light on the power and significance of photography: “Harper’s Bazaar: A Decade of Style”, “Remembering 9/11” and “Signs of Life: Photographs by Peter Sekaer”.
As one of the most high class, sophisticated, and influential fashion magazines in the world, “Harper’s Bazaar: A Decade of Style” exhibits approximately thirty of its top pictures photographed by leading photographers in the industry. This is a must-see event, where creativity and talent is perfectly matched. The photographs are drawn from a wide spectrum and illustrate fashion as well as portraits of particular designers and celebrities, including Marc Jacobs, Lady Gaga, and Julianne Moore.
“Remembering 9/11” takes one through five different installments where heart-breaking photographs, excerpts, and videos deliver powerful messages. It is an exploration through the eyes of many individuals- both local New Yorkers and brave volunteers- who risked their lives and coped with the tragedy of the terrorist attacks. This heartfelt exhibition illustrates how Americans came together in times of deep sorrow and struggle and united as one.
Comprised of approximately eighty black and white photographs taken during the 1930-40s, “Signs of Life: Photographs by Peter Sekaer” is the first museum exhibition that only features Sekaer’s work. As a famous Great Depression photographer, Sekaer vividly portrays daily life of Americans. His photographs hold a powerful meaning in US history and in the hearts of many citizens.
