EYEWITNESS : PULITZER PRIZE WINNING PHOTOGRAPHS

15 Feb-29 Mar 2014

Overview

Following on the success of our “History in the Taking” show at Paris Photo Los Angeles last year, Daniel Blau gallery is very pleased to present “Eyewitness”, an exhibition of vintage Pulitzer prize winning photographs at our London gallery. A powerful photograph stops time. A vast story can be contained in a single snapshot. When contemplating one of these renowned photographs we recall the events of the past and become oblivious to our present moment. The exhibition is composed of original vintage prints of famous photographs, many of which have documented and shaped our history. The show includes Robert H. Jackson’s photograph of the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald and Paul Vathis’ “Two Men with a Problem”, amongst many others. The value of these photographs is found in their cultural and artistic significance as well as in the historical nature of the prints themselves.
