Il nous énerve un peu ce Weegee, mais qu'est-ce qu'il est attachant ! La bande dessinée « Weegee , Serial Photographer » écrite par Max de Radiguès et illustrée par Wauter Mannaert rend ici hommage à cet illustre personnage qui a su immortaliser les nuits new-yorkaises des années 30-40 comme personne. C'est sans avoir reçu la moindre formation photographique que le photojournaliste controversé avait réussi à se faire un nom avec ses clichés en noir et blanc criants de vérité. Le New York délabré, authentique et empli de contrastes, on le lui doit à lui.
Car notre Arthur Fellig (son vrai nom) est un Bruce Wayne de la photographie. Tel Batman chassant les criminels la nuit, ...
Qu'est-ce qui définit le photographe si ce n'est son oeil ? Les 75 artistes du livre « Visionnaire : les plus grands photographes » ont en commun le fait d'avoir réussi à capter un monde en train de changer radicalement. Et si ce n'était pas un mais différents regards croisés sur leur environnement ? Regarder dans plusieurs directions à la fois. C'est ce qui fît leur talent.
« Qui est capable d'anticipation, qui a l'intuition de l'avenir » : c'est en ces termes que le dictionnaire Larousse définit le terme « visionnaire ». Effectivement, visionnaires, ces 75 photographes l'étaient tous. Il faut être extrêmement lucide, ...
Pionnier du photojournalisme, précurseur de la photographie à sensation des tabloïds et artiste reconnu, Arthur Fellig, surnommé Weegee, est né en Autriche en 1899. Il émigre aux Etats-Unis à l'âge de dix ans. Fils de rabbin, il grandit dans les vieux immeubles du Lower East Sicle de New York. Il est tout jeune lorsqu'il achète son premier appareil. Sa carrière commence alors qu'il squatte la chambre noire d'un studio de photos d'identité, où il est employé le jour : il s'en échappe la nuit pour couvrir les faits divers. Sans argent ni formation, il hante le QG de la police de Manhattan et devient ainsi le photographe du crime. En 1945, il publie Naked City, qui lui ouvre les portes d'Hollywood. Les plus grands journaux, dont L...
Following the survey of photographed sexuality and lust in Darkside I, the other end of the physical spectrum is illuminated: the intimate affinity between death and photography – impairment, disease, degeneration, violence and death, pain, grief and loss. Recording death is, along with war reporting, one of photography’s original tasks. Pictures of horror are often shocking and yet “bestselling”. They provoke questions about exploitation, complicity and power relationships – infront of and behind the camera and in the photograph itself. Photography often provokes accusations that it aestheticizes misery, creating a “pornography of horror”. Enlightenment quickly turns into transfiguration, photographic enlightenment into commerce. Darkside I and II examine Eros and Thanatos in pi...

Il alimenta entre 1935 et 1945 les quotidiens de New York en faits-divers et événements spectaculaires. En suivant son instinct, Weegee apporta une dimension esthétique dans son travail qui éleva le photojournalisme à la hauteur de l'oeuvre d'art. Ses photos eurent un immense retentissement public et influencèrent de grands artistes américains du Pop Art comme Andy Warhol dont il fit le portrait.

Michael Hoppen Gallery's press release
Part of the fascination with all photography is that the medium is firmly grounded in the documentary tradition. It has been used as a record of crime scenes, zoological specimens, lunar and space exploration, phrenology, fashion and importantly, art and science. It has been used as ‘proof’ of simple things such as family holidays and equally of atrocities taking place on the global stage. Any contemporary artist using photography has to accept the evidential language embedded in the medium.
In this exhibition the Michael Hoppen Gallery exhibits a myriad of different images including 19th, 20th c. and contemporary works of art. Seemingly disparate these images have a shared gravitas, a weightiness that emanates from their documentary function. Many ...

For an intense decade between 1935 and 1946, Weegee (1899–1968) was one of the most relentlessly inventive figures in American photography. His graphically dramatic and often lurid photographs of New York crimes and news events set the standard for what has become known as tabloid journalism. Weegee: Murder is My Business travels to the Ryerson Image Centre from New York’s International Center of Photography (ICP). This exhibition was made possible with support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the ICP Exhibitions Committee and The David Berg Foundation. The video content was produced by Documentary Arts in association with Octothorp Studio....
For an intense decade between 1935 and 1946, Weegee (1899–1968) was one of the most relentlessly inventive figures in American photography. His graphically dramatic and often lurid photographs of New York crimes and news events set the standard for what has become known as tabloid journalism. Freelancing for a variety of New York newspapers and photo agencies, and later working as a stringer for the short-lived liberal daily PM (1940–1948), Weegee established a way of combining photographs and texts that was distinctly different from that promoted by other more mainstream picture magazines. This traveling exhibition draws upon the extensive Weegee Archive at the International Center of Photography, New York. ...

Julia Gragnon, galeriste, a passé plusieurs années a préparer cette exposition. Partout dans le monde, elle a cherché ses œuvres dans le but de présenter et partager des images inédites de Marilyn Monroe.

Pour la première fois à Lyon, et dans le cadre du festival international -« Quais du Polar »-, le Bleu du Ciel s’associe à l’événement pour présenter le dénommé fameux et célèbre Weegee dans son exposition intitulée «La photographie noire».
Les travaux de Weegee, entièrement en Noir et blanc, se focalisent sur la vie nocturne de la ville de New York et nous conduisent vers une succession d’incidents sordides ou tragiques. Pour l’artiste, son approche photographique consiste à «Montrer combien, dans une ville de dix millions d’habitants, les gens vivent en complète solitude».

Weegee » Murder Is My Business
19 Oct 2012 – 27 Jan 2013
Weegee (Arthur Fellig, US 1899 – 1968) is one of the most colourful figures in American photography. He is renowned for his sensational images of assassinations, fires, accidents, brawls and orgies. His flash mercilessly captures the events, plain and outspoken. The exhibition Weegee: Murder Is My Business focuses on his dramatic black-and-white images of the New York crime scene of the 1930s and 1940s, which set the standard for what has become known as tabloid journalism.
Weegee’s early work focuses on urban violence and street life. His rising career as a press photographer coincided with the end of the Great Depression, the repeal of Prohibition and the government’s hard-handed action against the mafia, ca...

Gangland murders, gruesome car crashes, and perilous tenement fires were for the photographer Weegee (1899—1968) the staples of his flashlit black-and-white work as a freelance photojournalist in the mid-1930s. Such graphically dramatic and sometimes sensationalistic photographs of New York crimes and news events set the standard for what has since become known as tabloid journalism. In fact, for one intense decade, between 1935 and 1946, Weegee was perhaps the most relentlessly inventive figure in American photography. A surprising new exhibition at the International Center of Photography (1133 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street), titled Weegee: Murder Is My Business and organized by ICP Chief Curator Brian Wallis, will present some rare examples of Weegee’s most famous and iconic images, and will cons...
The 40 works range from early black and white photographs to the classic icons of American color photography.
A number of great photographers played a large role in forming and defining the American Myth. The discovery of everyday aspects of American life was decisive in this: cities and symbols, cars, signs, billboards, advertising, telephone poles, parking lots and barbershops.
People are a second aspect of the wide-ranging exhibition, from the years of the Great Depression to impressive portraits of celebrities.
The comparison of almost a century of American photographs results in an interesting structure of similarities and contrasts, which are balanced through the selective choice of images.
The exhibition begins with works of the early 20th century by Paul Strand and Berenice Abbott, who both show ...
In the context of the 4th European Month of Photography Berlin, which is presented for the first time as a themed event, the Kunsthandel Jörg Maaß is pleased to announce the exhibition “Street Photography. Selected Works from Six Decades”.
The exhibition centers around vintage prints which document life on the streets through the decades. This wide overview begins in Europe in the early 1930s with selected black and white photographs from Ilse Bing, Bill Brandt, Brassai, Cartier-Bresson and others.
American Street Photography of the 1940s to the 1970s is represented by works from Harry Callahan, Louis Fauer, Andreas Feininger, Robert Frank, Leon Levinstein, Ray K. Metzker, Erika Stone and Weegee. The exhibition closes with color prints of iconic examples of Street Photography, such as ...
Prints by Weegee borrowed from the collections of the Maison Européenne de la Photographie form the starting point for our American journey.
It all begins with Weegee, “Weegee the Famous” as he liked to call himself and stamp on his photos. For decades he was THE photographer of New York, driving through the streets day and night in his car that had been specially fitted out as an office and photo studio. By tuning in to the police radio frequency, he was able to experience and photograph, almost in real time, all the newsworthy events that took place in the city.
Other photographers at the time adopted a more humanistic approach to New York. Accidents, the unexpected, sordid incidents and death disappeared, leaving a city that was gentle, poetic and perhaps a little melancholic. Louis Stettner...
Les tirages de Weegee empruntés aux collections de la Maison Européenne de la Photographie sont le point de départ de notre promenade américaine.
Tout commence avec Weegee, Weegee the Famous, comme il aimait s’appeler et tamponner ses photos. Il a été durant des décennies, le photographe de New York, arpentant les rues de jour et de nuit dans sa voiture spécialement aménagée en bureau et en studio photo ; branché sur la radio de la police, il vivait et rendait compte presque en temps réel de tous les faits divers qui agitaient la ville.

'It's a crime to take photographs this good...'
An exhibition of early photographs by Weegee the Famous.
Always in the right place at the right time, Weegee's lense was perpetually aimed the visceral and sometimes violent city of New York. In 1993, Wilma Fellig Weegee's widow, bequeathed his entire archive of original prints to the ICP in New York, and we are delighted offer selected pieces of this unique photographers work which includes many images never previously seen in the UK.
Weegee photographed New York in the 1930s and 1940s in the same iconic and instantly recognisable way Woody Allen was to film the city in the 1970s. Weegee's voyeuristic eye sought out the harsh realities of the urban experience, but also the joie de vivre and carefree attitude which typified the years between the wars.

Following the investigation of photographed sexuality and desire in Darkside I, Fotomuseum Winterthur focuses now on the other extreme of the bodily spectrum, charting the path from the body as a veritable ‘picture of health’ to the body injured, disfigured or mutilated, in decline and decay. This raises questions: Why is there an intimate affinity between photography and death? Why does violence attract images? The visual world of western culture is full of images of violence – both random outbursts of violence and military violence, regulative state violence. In a strange reversal, societies have shut away images of life-affirming, life-giving sexuality, banishing them to the fringes of obscurity, whereas images of dark and excessive violence have been brought into the light. The reasons for this are ...

Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to announce Sexy and the City, a summer group show on view from Thursday, July 9, through Friday, August 28, 2009.
Sexy and the City shows the alluring, romantic and sometimes scandalous side of New York's people and places. Capturing private, intimate moments and blatant displays of sexuality, these photographs span the decades from the 1940s to the present day, taken in landmark locations like the Brooklyn Bridge and in the quiet, out-of-the-way corners of the city.
From Alfred Eisenstaedt's iconic image of a kissing couple in Times Square on V-J Day, 1945, to Nan Goldin's drag queen on an anonymous New York street in the 1990s, from Garry Winogrand's topless woman surrounded by a crowd in Central Park to the homosexual couples photographed by Alvin Baltr...
Right Through the Very Heart of It contrasts the icons and idiosyncrasies of New York, from the "vagabond shoes" to the "top of the heap," captured by some of the greatest photographers to roam these concrete streets.
Many of the medium's greatest innovators have made their name photographing the denizens and architecture that define our dear city. But such a diverse environment necessitates representing the grit as much as the glamour. In particular the exhibition will highlight sweeping vistas, architectural studies, street photography and street portraiture....
For a number of years we have been gathering together a collection of photographs which has evolved into a substantial group, but has never been shown publicly. A selection of which we would now like to present in our exhibition 'Selected photographs. From Brassaï to Cindy Sherman'.
Our intentions are to provide a wide and representative cross section of our inventory, beginning in the late 1920s and continuing up to the present day. We focus on American and European photography; black and white, as well as color. We have chosen works - in addition to the significance of the individual artists according to certain central themes: the nude, landscapes, portraits and architecture, to name the most prominent.
Brassaï and Cindy Sherman are representative of the chronology of our selection, the ...
With the current exhibition the "bad boys" of photography are the subject of an extensive show for the first time in Germany. Paparazzi photography is an aggressive form of photojournalism, particularly today when the famous names in show business are hunted down and pushed into dangerous situations for the sake of getting the most interesting picture possible. In the 1960's and 1970's, the "classic" era of the paparazzi, the combination of voyeurism and exhibitionism, whereby photographers lie in wait for the stars to make their public appearance, was less strident and loud. Inventiveness, speed and persistence, along with a touch of cheekiness--put to use at the Cannes Film Festival, or on the Via Veneto in Rome--was usually enough to guarantee good results.
The exhibition "Pigozzi and the Pap...

Between the late 1930s and the early 1960s a group of young photographers living and working in New York City redefined street photography.
This group of artists became known as The New York School.
These photographers documented the post war energy and exotic chaos of New York City as it evolved from the crisis years of the Great
Depression and the Second World War through to the social turbulence of the early seventies. Most of them worked on magazines but it was their personal work that stood them apart.
They captured the choreography of the city from the sidewalks of downtown, to the intensity of Times Square, the isolation and elegance of the arc...

Our image of Weegee is that of the prototypical New York tabloid news photographer: tough, garrulous, and on the scene, ready to cover two murders in one night. But the inventive Jewish immigrant Arthur Fellig (1899–1968), who assumed the self-mocking nickname Weegee, was also one of the most original and creative photographers of the twentieth century. His images of the masses at Coney Island, the confrontation of wealth and poverty at the opening night at the opera, and the aftermath of brutal crime scenes are, by now, classics. But beyond the iconic images that have been so widely circulated, what do we know of Weegee the photographer—his history, his methods, his meaning? Drawing on ICP's unique archive of nearly 20,000 prints by this celebrated master, Unknown Weegee presents approximately 120 photographs that h...
