NYC’s International Center of Photography to Showcase New Exhibits

When visiting New York City with the many Broadway shows, museums and restaurants to choose from often the International Center of Photography gets overlooked.  It should be on every New York City tourist list of things to do.

Beginning January 20, the International Center of Photography presents four new exhibitions will be of interest to both professional and amateur  photographers alike.  Weegee: Murder Is My Business (on view through September 2) highlights the work of one of the most relentlessly inventive figures in American photography, whose dramatic and often lurid photographs of New York crimes and news events set the standard for what has become known as tabloid journalism. The Loving Story showcases photography by Grey Villet that documents the story of the couple who was instrumental in overturning all race-based marriage bans in 1967. Magnum Contact Sheets explores how Magnum photographers have captured and edited their best shots from the 1930s to the present. And, finally, Perspectives 2012 focuses on emerging young artists working in photography and video in a non-thematic series of group exhibitions.

Located in the heart of midtown Manhattan, only steps from Bryant Park, Grand Central Station, Times Square and so many other New York City landmarks.
