Vision du monde," Arts et Metiers Graphiques, No.16, 1930 About the ExhibitionThe International Center of Photography presents Eugène Atget: The Making of a Reputation, curated by ICP’s creative director David Campany. This exhibition takes a new approach to the story of Atget’s career, drawing particular attention to the role that Berenice Abbott played in shaping Atget’s posthumous rise in influence. About Eugène AtgetEugène Atget (1857-1927) was a French photographer best known for his photographs of Paris and its environs. He supplied studies for painters, architects, and stage designers, while also making formally complex pictures. Atget’s subjects included everything from grand buildings to typical street scenes, storefronts and workers. His photographs, often taken in the early hours, are notable for their diffuse light and wide views that give a sense of enigma and mystery. They also document Paris and its rapid changes; many of the areas Atget photographed were soon to be razed as part of widespread modernization projects.Atget drew the admiration of a variety of artists, most notably Man Ray who even used one of Atget’s photographs on the cover of the magazine La Révolution surréaliste. The photographer Berenice Abbott preserved many of Atget’s prints and negatives. She exhibited his work, wrote about it, and for decades championed Atget as a forerunner of modern photography.

The Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer Lecture Series with Jerry Hsu and Tim Barber
Join us at ICP for the third installment of the spring Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer lecture series featuring photographer Jerry Hsu and curator Tim Barber. Hsu and Barber will discuss the trajectory of Hsu’s multidisciplined career, including Hsu’s work, currently featured in ICP’s exhibition, HARD COPY NEW YORK.This program is being offered both in person at ICP, located on NYC's Lower East Side, and online. Current ICP students and faculty of the One-Year Certificate programs are automatically enrolled and invited to attend all lectures.Past speakers of the Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Lecture series include: JEB, Philip Cheung, Donna Ferrato, Naima Green, David Alekhuogie, Keisha Scarville, Roe Ethridge, and Erin Schaff. About the Series:ICP is thrilled to honor Naomi Rosenblum’s contribution to the field and to further her life’s work through this lecture series. Naomi Rosenblum was one of the leading photography historians of her generation and the author of A World History of Photography and A History of Women Photographers. The 2025-2026 Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer Lecture Series is made possible through generous support from the Rosenblum Family. About the Speakers:Tim Barber is an American photographer, curator, and publisher known for his diaristic, emotionally resonant approach to image-making. Emerging in the early 2000s, Barber became closely associated with a generation of photographers who embraced the internet as both a platform for sharing work and a subject in itself. His photographs often blur the line between documentary and personal narrative, capturing the quiet, intimate moments of everyday life. Barber is the founder of tinyvices.com (now tinyvicesarchive.com), the influential online gallery and artist platform that helped shape contemporary photography culture by showcasing emerging artists alongside established voices. Through this project, he played a pivotal role in fostering a global community of image-makers during the rise of digital networking and publishing. His own work is characterized by a poetic sensibility—sunlit interiors, candid portraits, landscapes, and fleeting encounters—rendered with warmth and immediacy. Working across personal, editorial and commercial fields, Barber’s photographs emphasize feeling over spectacle, finding depth in subtle gestures and transient light. In addition to his photographic practice, Barber has worked as a curator, publisher and educator, contributing to exhibitions, publications, and conversations about the evolving role of photography in a networked world. In 2025 he launched the bookstore and exhibition space Rectangle Room at 113 Eldridge st. in downtown New York City.Header image by Tim Barber
