Bruce Davidson - Time of Change: Civil Rights Photographs, 1961-65

In 1961 Bruce Davidson joined a group of Freedom Riders, marking the beginning of his exploration into the heart of the Civil Rights Movement. His journey later included an early Malcolm X rally in Harlem, steel workers in Chicago, a Ku Klux Klan cross burning near Atlanta, migrant farm camps in South Carolina, protest demonstrations in Birmingham, and the heroic Selma march that led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Davidson's lyrical images are both poignant and profound as they describe the prevailing mood during the Civil Rights era.

Leonard Freed - A Memorial Retrospective

Leonard Freed, 1929 - 2006, is regarded as one of our country's finest photojournalists. Freed began taking photographs in his twenties while in the Netherlands and became a full member of Magnum Photos in 1972. In Freed's words, "For me, photography has a lot to do with curiosity and wonderment. It's getting excited about little things... It's being a child in a child's world while wandering through it as the adult that we are."

Bruce Davidson - Central Park

The legendary Bruce Davidson has challenged himself in a remarkable new way, taking on the visual and metaphorical scope of Central Park. Davidson's photographic approach to the park's wildlife - human and otherwise - varies in format and in emotional quality. Always compassionate, often idiosyncratic, this work reveals a sublime and at times transcendent vision.

Bruce Davidson is the recipient of the National Arts Club 2007 Gold Medal.

Astrid Korntheuer - Glor/Loh

The otherwise really very 'nice' nature, as we repeatedly believe, becomes in Astrid Korntheuer's photographs an impassable wall which repels you all the more you engage in her game of color, light and shadow.
