ICP Announces 2010 Infinity Award Winners

On the evening of Monday, May 10, 2010, the International Center of Photography will honor the nine recipients of the 26th Annual Infinity Awards, this country’s leading awards for excellence in the field of photography, at a gala event at Chelsea Piers, Pier Sixty, New York City. Each year, ICP takes this opportunity to acknowledge some of those image-makers whose work has allowed us to see the world anew, and that enables us to better grasp the richness and diversity of our common humanity.

“In addition to the fact that this year’s Infinity Award recipients have made a unique contribution to the photographic medium,” states ICP Ehrenkranz Director Willis E. Hartshorn, “they share a commitment to the overarching power of photography and how it can express what is both enduring and new in the human condition. Whether documenting significant historical and contemporary events, shedding light on the dynamism of unfamiliar cultures, or extending the languages we use to describe and better understand who we are, they have provided us with opportunities to re-grasp and re-envision our world.”
