false 598444 1 The viewing public's image of Weegee is 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 work for The New York Times, the Herald Tribune, World-Telegram, Daily News, Post, Journal-American and Sun, his images of the masses at Coney Island, the confrontation of wealth and poverty at 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 120 photographs that have never been made available to the public. They reveal a politically astute and witty social critic and attest to the seriousness and self-consciousness of his photographic endeavors. With essays by Luc Sante and ICP curator Cynthia Young. 585070 24 7 2006 Unknown Weegee total:18|5:7|4:9|3:2| 18 77 29 1 5 0 false false Thu Jul 24 06:10:27 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 06:10:39 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 10:44:21 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 10:44:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 06 15:03:59 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 15:03:59 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jun 19 20:47:25 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 20:47:30 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed May 06 07:14:34 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 07:14:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 29 07:52:06 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 07:52:06 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Mar 18 18:49:50 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 18:49:50 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Dec 29 07:35:19 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 07:35:19 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Nov 25 11:58:01 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 14:56:31 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 11:58:01 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 24 04:02:58 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 14:06:10 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Fri Oct 03 09:40:17 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 03 09:40:17 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Aug 27 23:18:50 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 23:18:50 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jun 19 21:29:50 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 19 21:29:50 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue May 06 15:22:49 -0700 2008 Tue May 06 15:22:49 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Apr 18 13:32:07 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 18 13:32:07 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Apr 12 09:21:43 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 12 09:21:43 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Mar 26 12:17:20 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 26 12:17:20 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Feb 26 14:27:45 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 26 14:27:49 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed Feb 27 20:15:58 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 11 16:02:14 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 11 16:02:20 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Feb 01 14:22:22 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 01 14:22:28 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=598444
