International Photography Hall of Fame Announces 2020 Inductees and Award Recipients International Photography Hall of Fame Announces 2020 Inductees and Award Recipients Seven inductees, a special Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and a Leadership Award recipient will be added to the Hall of Fame this year ST. LOUIS, July 23, 2020 – The International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum (IPHF) is pleased to announce its 2020 class of Photography Hall of Fame inductees, which will be added to the Hall of Fame and Museum, located in the Grand Center Arts District in St. Louis. The IPHF annually awards and inducts notable photographers or photography industry visionaries for their artistry, innovation, and significant contributions to the art and science of photography. This year, IPHF will host its first-ever hybrid live/virtual induction ceremony in which a worldwide audience will be able to join online on Friday, October 30. 2020 Honorees to be inducted into the Hall of Fame include the following seven photographers or photography industry visionaries who demonstrate the artistry, passion and revolution of the past and present art and science of photography: • Robert Adams, Photographer • Lynsey Addario, Photojournalist • Alfred Eisenstaedt, Photojournalist • Hiro, Fashion/Art/Portrait photographer • Jay Maisel, Fine Art/Portrait/Commercial photographer • Duane Michals, Photographic Innovator • Carrie Mae Weems, Fine Art/Conceptual Photographer In addition, legendary rock music photographer Henry Diltz will be presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award and photographic agency Magnum Photos will receive the Leadership Award. "Despite the challenges we face as a society this year, we are proud to add these exceptional honorees into the Hall of Fame and celebrate their contributions to the art of photography," said Richard Miles, Chairman of the Board of IPHF. A nominating committee of IPHF representatives and notable photographic leaders with a passion for preserving and honoring the art of photography selected the inductees. To be eligible for induction, nominees were considered based on the noteworthy contributions they made to the art or science of photography that had a significant impact on the photography industry and/or history of photography. The inductees, though widely differing in style and practice, are individually seen as significant innovators in their respective fields. They are all risk takers who introduced the world to new means of artistic representation and expression. "The 2020 Hall of Fame inductees as well as the Lifetime Achievement Award Winner and Leadership Award Winner are stellar, and we are proud to include them," G. Robert Bishop, Chairman of the Induction Committee. For 55 years, the IPHF has been and remains the only organization worldwide that recognizes and honors significant contributors to the artistic craft and science of photography. In addition to its commitment to the Photography Hall of Fame, the IPHF strives to educate the public about photographic history and to collect, exhibit, and preserve historical items and images. IPHF’s impressive permanent collection contains works from more than 500 artists, over 2,000 historical cameras, and more than 30,000 photographs. More information on the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum can be found at iphf.org. About the 2020 Photography Hall of Fame inductees: Robert Adams (1937 - ) Robert Adams is a photographer who has documented the extent and the limits of our damage to the American West, recording there, in over fifty books of pictures, both reasons to despair and to hope. In the 1970s and '80s, Adams produced a series of books – The New West, Denver, What We Bought, Summer Nights – that focused on expanding suburbs along Colorado's Front Range; books that pictured heedless development, but also the surviving light, scale, form and silence of the natural world. He has sometimes directly engaged civic and political issues as well. A series of photographs at the Ludlow memorial, for example, speaks for organized labor, and another at a protest against the second Iraq war records the suffering that accompanies empire. Most notably, Our Lives and Our Children pictures individuals who lived at risk downwind from the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, where Adams himself once lived. His large exhibition and book, Turning Back, documented deforestation along the Oregon coast. In 1994, the MacArthur Foundation awarded Adams a fellowship, and in 2014, he was elected to The American Academy of Arts and Letters. A retrospective of his work is planned at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., in 2021. 2 www.iphf.org 3415 Olive Street, Saint Louis, MO 63103 (314) 535-1999 Lynsey Addario (1973 - ) Lynsey Addario is an American photojournalist who has been covering conflict and humanitarian crises around the Middle East and Africa on assignment for The New York Times, National Geographic Magazine, and Time Magazine for almost two decades. Since September 11, 2001, Addario has covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Lebanon, Darfur, South Sudan, Yemen, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. She recently travelled to Yemen for The New York Times Magazine. In 2015, American Photo Magazine named Addario as one of five most influential photographers of the past 25 years, saying she changed the way we saw the world's conflicts. Addario is the recipient of numerous awards, including a MacArthur fellowship, a Pulitzer prize, The Overseas Press Club's Olivier Rebbot Award, and two Emmy nominations. She holds two Honorary Doctorate Degrees for her professional accomplishments from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Bates Collage in Maine. In 2015, she wrote a New York Times Best- selling memoir, "It's What I Do," and in 2018, she released her first solo collection of photography, “Of Love and War,” published by Penguin Press. Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898 – 1995) Born in West Prussia, Alfred Eisenstaedt was inseparable from his camera from the moment his uncle gave him one. But it was not until 1927 that his first photograph –– of a tennis match in Czechoslovakia –– was published. The next year, he began his photographic career in Berlin at Pacific and Atlantic Photos, soon to become part of the Associated Press. Capturing such key figures as Hitler and Mussolini at their first meeting, through the agency, he was published in the major European magazines of the time. In 1935, he moved to New York, where he became one of LIFE magazine's four founding photographers, his images appearing on more than 80 covers over the next six decades of his association with the magazine. Not only did he photograph famous personalities, but he also captured spontaneous moments, including the one on V-J Day of a sailor enthusiastically kissing a nurse in Times Square. That 1945 photograph became his most well known contribution to LIFE. In 1954, Eisenstaedt held his first solo exhibition in New York and went on to win numerous awards, including the National Medal of Arts in 1989. An extremely influential photographer, Eisenstaedt has been called the “Father of Photojournalism.” He died on August 24, 1995 at age 96. Hiro (1930 – ) Known for the originality of his distinctly conceived and precisely realized photographs, Hiro’s career began in New York shooting fashion, still life and portraits for Harper’s Bazaar. Shortly after arriving in America from Japan in 1954, Hiro was hired as an assistant in Richard Avedon’s studio. Avedon decided he was too talented not to work independently and introduced Hiro to Bazaar’s legendary art director, Alexey Brodovitch. Hiro began working under Brodovitch in 1956, and within a few years he ascended to extraordinary fashion photography heights. In 1963, he became the only photographer under contract at Harper’s Bazaar, a position he held for the next ten years. Hiro’s photographs are characterized by their elegant use of bold colors, unusual lighting and perspectives, and surprising juxtaposition of elements. Hiro’s work has been published in three monographs and is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography and the Kobe Fashion Museum in Japan, among others. 3 www.iphf.org 3415 Olive Street, Saint Louis, MO 63103 (314) 535-1999 Jay Maisel (1931 - ) Jay Maisel began his photography career in 1954. While his portfolio includes the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Miles Davis, he is perhaps best known for capturing the light, gesture and color found in everyday life. Some of his commercial accomplishments include five Sports Illustrated swimsuit covers, the first two covers of New York Magazine, the cover of Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue (the best-selling jazz album of all time), twelve years of advertising campaign assignments with United Technologies, as well as awards from such organizations as ICP, ASMP, ADC, PPA, Cooper Union and others. Since he stopped taking on commercial work in 1995, Maisel has continued to focus on his personal work and developed a reputation as a giving and inspiring teacher as a result of extensive lecturing and photography workshops throughout the country. He also taught a private workshop at 190 Bowery, the Bank, for eight years. Since 2015, he has committed himself to reviewing his last sixty years of shooting. The results can be seen on his website, jaymaisel.com. He continues to sell prints of his photographs, many of which can be found in private, corporate, and museum collections. Duane Michals (1932 - ) Duane Michals is one of the great photographic innovators of the last century, widely known for his work with series, multiple exposures and text. Michals first made significant, creative strides in the field of photography during the 1960s. In an era heavily influenced by photojournalism, he manipulated the medium to communicate narratives.

    g g OAK KNOLL BOOKS www.oakknoll.com 310 Delaware Street, New Castle, DE 19720 Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow, making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books. Today, Oak Knoll Books is a thriving company that maintains an inventory of about 25,000 titles. Our main specialties continue to be books about bibliography, book collecting, book design, book illustration, book selling, bookbinding, bookplates, children’s books, Delaware books, fine press books, forgery, graphic arts, libraries, literary criticism, marbling, papermaking, printing history, publishing, typography & type specimens, and writing & calligraphy — plus books about the history of all of these fields. Oak Knoll Books is a member of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB — about 2,000 dealers in 22 countries) and the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA — over 450 dealers in the US). Their logos appear on all of our antiquarian catalogues and web pages. These logos mean that we guarantee accurate descriptions and customer satisfaction. Our founder, Bob Fleck, has long been a proponent of the ethical principles embodied by ILAB & the ABAA. He has taken a leadership role in both organizations and is a past president of both the ABAA and ILAB. We are located in the historic colonial town of New Castle (founded 1651), next to the Delaware River and have an open shop for visitors.

  • Annual Report Fy2013
    INTERSECTIONS ANNUAL REPORT FY2013 FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES This year has been a time of robust innovation at The Phillips Collection; we are truly living the “experiment station” that founder Duncan Phillips spoke about so eloquently. The Phillips’s many advances in technology, for example, include a new website that provides users with easy access to our art, videos, and events. This effort has been complemented by a robust presence on multimedia and social media platforms, an insightful blog, and the Education team’s innovative virtual gallery talks on Twitter. The Laib Wax Room, dedicated to our own Caroline Macomber (whose delightful presence on our Board we deeply miss), opened in March as a space for meditation, much like the Rothko Room. The Phil- lips’s commitment to engaging with living artists of our day mirrors the collecting vision of Gifford Phillips, a dear friend of the museum who passed away in April. Partial funds for the beeswax room were raised through the crowdsourcing platform Indiegogo, allowing dozens of supporters to be part of Phillips history. Innovations at the Phillips are not just expressed through new technology. From April 12 to May 2, Phillips educator Rachel Goldberg led workshops in Pakistan for more than 375 Pakistani emerging artists, students, museum professionals, and children about the power of art to create social change. This extremely successful partnership with the US Department of State affirms the universal connective power of art; discus- sions are underway to expand the program. Extending the Phillips’s mission abroad to create an internation- al dialogue through art is a new partnership with Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service.

    FY 15 ANNUAL REPORT August 1, 2014- July 31, 2015 1 THE PHILLIPS COLLECTION FY15 Annual Report THE PHILLIPS [IS] A MULTIDIMENSIONAL INSTITUTION THAT CRAVES COLOR, CONNECTEDNESS, A PIONEERING SPIRIT, AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES 2 THE PHILLIPS COLLECTION FY15 Annual Report FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTOR This is an incredibly exciting time to be involved with The Phillips Collection. Duncan Phillips had a deep understanding of the “joy-giving, life-enhancing influence” of art, and this connection between art and well-being has always been a driving force. Over the past year, we have continued to push boundaries and forge new paths with that sentiment in mind, from our art acquisitions to our engaging educational programming. Our colorful new visual identity—launched in fall 2014—grew out of the idea of the Phillips as a multidimensional institution, a museum that craves color, connectedness, a pioneering spirit, and personal experiences. Our programming continues to deepen personal conversations with works of art. Art and Wellness: Creative Aging, our collaboration with Iona Senior Services has continued to help participants engage personal memories through conversations and the creating of art. Similarly, our award-winning Contemplation Audio Tour encourages visitors to harness the restorative power of art by deepening their relationship with the art on view. With Duncan Phillips’s philosophies leading the way, we have significantly expanded the collection. The promised gift of 18 American sculptors’ drawings from Trustee Linda Lichtenberg Kaplan, along with the gift of 46 major works by contemporary German and Danish artists from Michael Werner, add significantly to new possibilities that further Phillips’s vision of vital “creative conversations” in our intimate galleries.

  • Manhattan the Historic Districts Council Is New York’S Citywide Advocate for Historic Buildings and Neighborhoods
    A Guide to Historic New York City Neighborhoods B owe ry Manhattan The Historic Districts Council is New York’s citywide advocate for historic buildings and neighborhoods. The Six to Celebrate program annually identifies six historic New York City neighborhoods that merit preservation as priorities for HDC’s advocacy and consultation over a yearlong period. The six, chosen from applications submitted by community organizations, are selected on the basis of the architectural and historic merit of the area, the level of threat to the neighborhood, the strength and willingness of the local advocates, and the potential for HDC’s preservation support to be meaningful. HDC works with these neighborhood partners to set and reach pres- ervation goals through strategic planning, advocacy, outreach, programs and publicity. The core belief of the Historic Districts Council is that preservation and enhancement of New York City’s historic resources—its neighborhoods, buildings, parks and public spaces—are central to the continued success of the city. The Historic Districts Council works to ensure the preservation of these resources and uphold the New York City Landmarks Law and to further the preservation ethic. This mission is accomplished through ongoing programs of assistance to more than 500 community and neighborhood groups and through public-policy initiatives, publications, educational outreach and sponsorship of community events. Six to Celebrate is generously supported by The New York Community Trust and HDC’s Six to Celebrate Committee. Additional support for the Six to Celebrate Tours is provided by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and New York City Councilmembers Inez Dickens, Daniel Garodnick, Vincent Gentile, Stephen Levin and Rosie Mendez.

  • Dance History Session 9 Katherine Dunham
    Katherine Dunham Timeline 1909 A studio photograph of Katherine Dunham in the 1920s . Katherine Mary Dunham is born on 22 June 1909 in a Chicago hospital. Her father, Albert Millard Dunham, is black; her mother, Fanny June Dunham, is a woman of French-Canadian and American Indian heritage. Shortly after her birth, her parents take the infant Katherine to their home in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, a village about fifteen miles west of Chicago. She spends her early years there in the company of her brother, Albert Jr., who is six years older than she. They become devoted to each other. 1913 Fanny June Dunham, twenty years older than her husband, dies. Katherine and Albert Jr. are sent to live with their father's sister, Lulu, on the South Side of Chicago. 1915 Albert Sr. marries Annette Poindexter, and the children go to live with their father and stepmother in Joliet, Illinois. Their stepmother becomes a benevolent influence, but their father is a strict disciplinarian who lays down hard rules of behavior and dispenses physical punishment for infractions. 1921 Dunham's short story, "Come Back to Arizona," written when she was twelve years old, appears in volume 2 (August 1921) of The Brownies' Book, a periodical edited by W.E.B. Du Bois. 1922 In high school, Katherine Dunham joins the Terpsichorean Club and begins to learn a kind of free-style modern dance based on ideas of Jaques-Dalcroze and Rudolf von Laban. At fourteen, to help raise money for her church, she organizes a "cabaret party." She is the producer, director, and star of the entertainment.

In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.
