International Center of Photography appoints Mark Lubell to Executive Director

The Board of Trustees of the International Center of Photography (ICP) announced today that it has appointed Mark Lubell as its new Executive Director, effective immediately.

Caryl Englander, Chair of the ICP Board, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Mark as our Executive Director. Mark is a creative, entrepreneurial leader with a rare breadth of experience in art, technology, and commerce. His appointment marks the beginning of a new era for the institution, one that will honor its history and enhance its mission for the 21st century.”

"Mark Lubell's deep experience with photography, aptitude with digital technology, and managerial skills make him especially well-suited to lead ICP forward as we prepare to celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2014," noted Jeffrey A. Rosen, President of the ICP Board. “Mark is a forward thinker, whose vision of ICP's central role in photography in the digital age builds on the spirit of our founder, Cornell Capa.”

“I am delighted to join the ICP and lead its exceptional staff,” said Mark Lubell, Executive Director. “Founding Director Cornell Capa established ICP in 1974 as a center for the concerned photographer, with a mission to educate the world. Today, we are living through a revolution in digital media, in which the image is arguably the focal point. ICP—through its founding principles and its rich history of photographic practices—is poised to lead the examination of the rapidly expanding role that images play in our culture and in our lives. I am excited by the opportunities before us.”
