Between Friends: From the ICP Collection presents seven decades of photographers portraying their friends in snapshots, casual studio portraits, and going about their everyday lives.
These images allow us to see intimate moments of collaboration between artists and give us a peek into their friendships and networks. Highlights include portraits of and by well-known figures like Alfred Stieglitz, Berenice Abbott, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Between Friends also calls attention to many women photographers from ICP’s collection, including Lotte Jacobi, Nell Dorr, Consuelo Kanaga, and Barbara Morgan. The stories behind these images are sometimes poignant, funny, sad or uplifting, often bringing to light friendships and connections between artists long forgotten and reminding us all how important friendships can be to the creative process and to an artist’s legacy.
Between Friends represents the second exhibition in a new and on-going series drawn from ICP’s collection of photographs and related materials. The exhibition is curated by Sara Ickow, ICP’s Senior Manager of Exhibitions and Collections.
