Sundaram Tagore Madison presents an exhibition by world-renowned Magnum photographer Steve McCurry. The show brings together some of the award-winning artist's most iconic works alongside a selection of never-before-seen photographs that provide new perspectives on many of the locations McCurry is best known for, including Cambodia, Croatia, Pakistan and Ethiopia.
McCurry has travelled the globe for his photographic projects, covering areas of international and civil conflict and documenting ancient traditions, vanishing cultures and contemporary culture. His exquisite use of color and unwavering commitment to retain the human element has made his images timelessly captivating. McCurry's work has been the subject of numerous museum shows and books, including his latest In Search of Elsewhere: Unseen Images, a collection of previously unpublished prints spanning his thirty-year career.
The book launches November 24 and to celebrate the release, we will be live streaming a conversation with McCurry and Sundaram on November 18. We’ll announce the details on our social media platforms soon.
