This exhibition is the first to focus exclusively on Mary Ellen Mark's extensive American work. In 140 images made over the past four decades, she presents a nation that is as engrossing and unpredictable as her subjects.


[The ICP uptown facility closed in the year 2001. This was one of the last exhibitions in the original building.]
