Foam presents an exhibition of work by the legendary photographer Weegee, regarded as the prototypical modern photojournalist and one of the most important photographers of the 20th century. His uncompromising and unprettified photographs have an immediate, almost violent impact. They show crimes and accidents in the New York of the 1930s and 1940s, but also document life and events on the streets of the city.
All black-and-white photographs are vintage prints from the collection of Hendrik A. Berinson, compiled over a period of more than 20 years. This is the single most important and extensive collection of Weegee’s work made up exclusively of original prints. The exhibition contains many of Weegee’s most famous images and photographs, many of which have never been reproduced.
Opening: december the 13th at 5:30 pm
