Werner PICK - Darwin's Nightmare

(2004, HUBERT SAUPER) "But economically, it's good." As the Nile Perch, introduced into Lake Victoria, Tanzania, in the 60s, gobble up almost all the native species, a fish for guns trade ensues - but what do the locals get out of it? "Harrowing, indispensable, extraordinary work of visual journalism and also a work of art." - A.O. Scott, NY Times.

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.
