Stopping Time
Capturing time is something that has fascinated photographers since the formal invention of the medium in 1826. Eadweard Muybridge’s pioneering magnum opus, Animal Locomotion (1884–1887), set the benchmark for those photographers, scientists, and inventors, who finally realized that stopping time with a camera was within reach.
We’re very excited to present Stopping Time: Capturing the Photographic Second, an inspiring sale on artnet Auctions, featuring the work of innovators such as Harold Eugene Edgerton, Berenice Abbott, and Gjon Mili, as well as Contemporary artists such as Adam Fuss and Matthew Pillsbury. -

Happy birthday Sally Mann! The famed photographer celebrates her 62nd birthday today!
Born in Lexington, VA, Mann received great acclaim and critique for her Immediate Family series, in which she photographed her own children, often nude, in ethereal, unsettling works, picturing the everyday activities and games of a child, while alluding to darker and more serious themes of loss, sexuality, loneliness, and death.

Touring The ICP
We would love for you to join our senior specialist in photography, Miles Barth, on a guided tour of We Went Back: Photographs from Europe 1933–1956 by Chim at the International Center of Photography.
The retrospective show traces the development of Chim’s career as an intellectually engaged photojournalist, placing his life and work in the broader context of 1930s–50s photography and European politics. Chim was an astute observer of 20th-century European political affairs, workers’ rights, and culture, from the beginnings of the antifascist struggle to the rebuilding of countries ravaged by World War II.
The tour is free of charge and will take place this Friday, April 19, 2013, at 11:00 a.m. at the International Center of Photography, 1133 Avenue of the Americas (at 43rd Street).
Please RSVP to Ashilee Schreiber at ASchreiber@artnet.com by April 17. Space is limited!

Hawaii
Hauntingly beautiful, this photograph shows one of the Hawaiian islands, not as the lush tropical oasis, but rather as a powerful rock jutting from the sea, and as a removed, isolated space.
Shot from a birds-eye perspective, this work is a masterpiece by Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama.
