Thomas Hoepker - Pictures from a Vanished Country: East Germany in the 1970's

Initially working as a staff photographer and correspondent for Stern, Thomas Hoepker was among the first with a special permit to travel freely between West and East Berlin, managing to portray everyday life in the "brother country" (East Germany) as realistically and impartially as possible. His images - at once revealing, depressing, and humorous - preserve the bygone look of the "first Socialist state on German soil."

David Alan Harvey - Living Proof

In 2005 David Alan Harvey began photographing local emcees in the Bronx River Projects as part of an exploration into hip hop. Hip hop, which first began on the streets of the South Bronx in the early 1970s, has traveled the globe, finding a home in every corner of the planet. It is this phenomenon that Harvey has captured - from Hollywood celebs to the local cultures of Spain, France, Gambia, Senegal, South Korea, and Thailand.

Constantine Manos - Greek-American

Constantine Manos shares two bodies of work, one made early in his career and the other much later. Of the black and white photographs in A Greek Portfolio, Manos visits Greece, the land of his ancestors, in a romantic search for the village he heard of so much as a child. In American Color, a more mature Manos makes color photographs of the America which once intrigued him as a strange and exotic place.

Harry Gruyaert - TV Shots

For his first serious body of work, Harry Gruyaert made photographs of distorted TV images, covering events such as the 1972 Munich Olympics to produce a distressed parody of the current affairs photostory. The work created controversy when first exhibited in 1974, with its disrespectful assault on the culture of television and its radical challenge (both formally and in terms of content) to the conventions of press photography. Gruyaert views the work as the closest thing to journalistic photography he has ever made.

Thomas Dworzak - M*A*S*H

The 1970s television series M*A*S*H followed a hapless US medical corps stationed in the Korean War.

Thomas Dworzak was with them - embedded with the 44th Medcoms 50th and 150th Medical Companies in Iraq over several periods in 2005.
