After meeting Steve McCurry last September, Campobasso now hosts his most famous retrospective: Steve McCurry Icons, with his 130 most important photographs of his 40 years long career.
The exhibition begins with a long series of portraits, faces which Steve McCurry loves capturing all over the world: children from Afghanistan, women in the southeast Asia, with their showy jewels, or young men from Ethiopia. The series has been extended, in comparison with the previous venues, with new photos from Mongolia or Papua New Guinea. The visitors then find the images about the destruction because of the Gulf War and of 9/11, then the dreamy and aquatic landscape of Burma, and finally the most important pictures from India and his absolute icon, Sharbat Gula.
Steve McCurry Icons, the catalog
Available at the bookshop, the catalog of the exhibition Steve McCurry Icons – Conversation with Biba Giacchetti. Steve McCurry’s own voice and of the curator of his exhibitions tell the anecdotes behind the 50 among the exhibited images, as the wonder to capture the fast walk on the wall of a Shaolin monk or, on the contrary, the patient of the long wait which won him images now become icons.
From Jan 26th to Apr. 28th you can visit this world of images at Palazzo GIL in Campobasso.
The exhibition is curated by Biba Giacchetti, organizzed by Fondazione Cultura Molise and Sudest57. For more information about tickets and entrance, you can visit the Facebook page of Fondazione Cultura.
