Street photographer. Fashion photographer. Painter. Graphic designer. Abstract artist. Writer. Filmmaker. Book maker. Few have transformed as many fields of art and culture as William Klein. David Campany, Curator at Large at the International Center of Photography presents the expansive work of William Klein, ahead of his major retrospective exhibition William Klein: YES! Photographs, Paintings, Films, 1948-2013, opening Summer 2022 at the International Center of Photography located on the Lower East Side in New York.

Based in Beirut, Myriam Boulos, (left) now a Magnum-nominee, has created a searing, diaristic body of work portraying her friends, family, and her city’s society with startling energy and intimacy. Her series, “What’s Ours,” featured in Aperture magazine’s spring issue titled “Celebrations” casts an unflinching eye on the revolution that began in Lebanon in 2019, with protests against corruption and government austerity, as well as the aftermath of the devastating port explosion in August 2020. Of her approach to photography, Boulos states: “It’s more of a need than a choice. I obsess about things and I don’t know how to deal with these obsessions in any other way but photography.” The talk will be introduced by Michael Famighetti, editor, Aperture 

Join co-founders of 10x10 Photobooks Olga Yatskevich (left), a contributing writer to Collector Daily, and Russet Lederman (right), writer, editor, and photobook collector.
