Unguarded, Untold, Iconic: Afghanistan through the Lens of Steve McCurry will present highlights from McCurry’s 35 years of photography in Afghanistan, providing visitors with visually stunning and thought-provoking perspectives on Afghan culture, food, religion, and history. In McCurry’s own words: “Much as outsiders try to reform it, Afghanistan never really changes. It has absorbed blows for millennia, but always continues on as before, defiantly outside of time as we know it. Without even trying, Afghanistan changes everyone who spends time there. Afghanistan is pastoral and chaotic, peaceful and violent, destroyed and resilient, wonderfully welcoming yet deeply inhospitable. My Afghan fixation is the story of many journeys. It began in 1979, the year the Russians invaded. Twenty- nine at the time, I had travelled the world, but whatever I had done by that point was no preparation for Afghanistan, especially during a time of war.” McCurry’s photographs will be joined by passages from James A. Michener’s acclaimed novel Caravans, which first introduced much of America to the (Continued...) Steve McCurry (b. 1950), Portrait Photographer, Kabul, Afghanistan, 1992.

  • Press Release for Editing
    Moderne Gallery Is Making A Move! - as always...looking forward, taking the lead ---- From Old City to Port Richmond, Philadelphia, in January 2019 Moderne Gallery, recognized internationally as the prime gallery for studio craft furniture, and as the leading Nakashima dealer in the world, is moving to a new center for high end design, art and antiques in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia, as of January 2019. The new showroom is not open to the public as of yet, but can be visited by appointment only. It is set to open in the Spring of 2019. Moderne Gallery will be the first tenant in the Showrooms at 2220, a newly restored former mill at 2220 East Allegheny Avenue, (Port Richmond) Philadelphia, PA 19134. The 100,000 square-foot building is owned and managed by Jeffrey Kamal and Joe Holahan, co-owners of Kamelot Auction Company, which holds its auctions and has its offices in the building. "We are not downsizing, or giving up our showroom concept with special exhibitions," says Moderne Gallery founder/director Robert Aibel. "And certainly we will continue to build our business through internet sales." Joshua Aibel, Robert's son, is now co-director of Moderne Gallery and helping to develop this combination of sales concepts. "We see this as an opportunity to move to a setting that presents a comprehensive, easily accessible major art, antiques and design center for our region, just off I-95," says Josh Aibel. "The Showrooms at 2220 offer an attractive new venue with great showroom spaces and many advantages for our storage and shipping requirements." Moderne Gallery's new showrooms are being designed by the gallery's longtime interior designer Michael Gruber of Philadelphia.

  • Steve Mccurry ’74
    Steve McCurry ’74 Steve McCurry is quite simply one of the finest, most highly regarded photographers in the world. He graduated from the College of Arts and Architecture with a B.A. cum laude in cinematography, whereupon he joined a newspaper. After two years he set out for India to freelance and begin his career in earnest. Spending the majority of his time in Southeast Asia, McCurry supported himself through his freelance work for a number of years. However, it was his photographs of rebel-controlled Afghanistan just before the Russian invasion in the 1980s that brought him to world attention. Disguised in native garb and pretending to be mute, McCurry crossed the Pakistan border into Afghanistan to emerge into safety later with rolls of film sewn into his clothes—film that, because it contained compelling images that were among the first of the conflict, was quickly published worldwide. His coverage won the Robert Capa Gold Medal for Best Photographic Reporting from Abroad—an award dedicated to photographers exhibiting exceptional courage and enterprise. Since then, McCurry has covered many areas of international and civil conflict, including Beirut, Cambodia, the Philippines, the Gulf War, the Iran-Iraq war, and the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia. McCurry’s images of the devastation of the World Trade Center in 2001 are considered standouts in the documentation of that attack. Says McCurry, “Most of my photos are grounded in people. I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face. I try to convey what it is like to be that person—a person caught in a broader landscape that I guess you’d call the human condition.” Throughout his career he has put himself at risk to record images of every major conflict of the last twenty years: he has been arrested and chained in Pakistan, survived a plane crash in Yugoslavia, was beaten and nearly drowned in India by crowds at a religious festival, and was nearly killed by a Mujahadeen faction.

It is the first solely photographic cultural destination in the Los Angeles area. The Photography Space is an initiative of the Annenberg Foundation and its board of directors. Its creation builds upon the Foundation’s long history of supporting visual arts. EXHIBITS The Annenberg Space for Photography does not maintain a permanent collection of photographs; instead, exhibitions change every four to six months. The content of each show varies and appeals to a wide variety of audiences. DESIGN The interior of the Space is influenced by the mechanics of a camera and its lens. The central, circular Digital Gallery is contained within the square building much as a convex lens is contained within a camera. The Digital Gallery’s ceiling features an iris-like design reminiscent of the aperture of a lens. The aperture design also enhances the Gallery’s acoustics. The Print Gallery curves around the Digital Gallery, representing the way film scrolls within a camera. The curvature of the ceiling line in the Print Gallery mimics the design of a film canister.

  • Research Resources at the Smithsonian American Art Museum Amelia A
    From La Farge to Paik Research Resources at the Smithsonian American Art Museum Amelia A. Goerlitz A wealth of materials related to artistic interchange between the United States and Asia await scholarly attention at the Smithsonian Institution.1 The Smithsonian American Art Museum in particular owns a remarkable number of artworks that speak to the continuous exchange between East and West. Many of these demonstrate U.S. fascination with Asia and its cultures: prints and paintings of America’s Chinatowns; late-nineteenth- century examples of Orientalism and Japonisme; Asian decorative arts and artifacts donated by an American collector; works by Anglo artists who trav- eled to Asia and India to depict their landscapes and peoples or to study traditional printmaking techniques; and post-war paintings that engage with Asian spirituality and calligraphic traditions. The museum also owns hundreds of works by artists of Asian descent, some well known, but many whose careers are just now being rediscovered. This essay offers a selected overview of related objects in the collection. West Looks East American artists have long looked eastward—not only to Europe but also to Asia and India—for subject matter and aesthetic inspiration. They did not al- ways have to look far. In fact, the earliest of such works in the American Art Mu- seum’s collection consider with curiosity, and sometimes animosity, the presence of Asians in the United States. An example is Winslow Homer’s engraving enti- tled The Chinese in New York—Scene in a Baxter Street Club-House, which was produced for Harper’s Weekly in 1874.

Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with George Tsutakawa on September 8, 12, 14 & 19, 1983. The interview took place in Seattle, WA, and was conducted by Martha Kingsbury for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview DATE: SEPTEMBER 8, 1983 [Tape 1; Side A] [GEORGE TSUTAKAWA reviewed the transcript and added clarification, particularly about the World War II years. His added comments with his initials are in brackets--Ed.] MARTHA KINGSBURY: George, why don't we start by talking about a lot of biographical matters. I'd like to know about your personal background, your family, your growing up in Seattle and Japan also, education. GEORGE TSUTAKAWA: Uh huh. Well, let's see now. My father was a merchant who came to Seattle in 1905, and he started a small business and eventually he gets involved in fairly large company exporting and importing American goods and Japanese goods. He, as I recall, had business in Japanese food, clothing, art goods, and all sorts of things from Japan, and then in turn he was sending lumber from the Northwest to Japan. He also dealt in scrap metal and just anything. MARTHA KINGSBURY: That he sent to Japan? GEORGE TSUTAKAWA: Yeah, he sent to Japan.
