Weegee: Society of the Spectacle Closing Date

Weegee: Society of the Spectacle closes on May 5, 2025. This exhibition brings together the gritty realism of Weegee’s New York crime photography with the surreal glamour of his later Hollywood images, offering a compelling investigation into his career-long critique of 20th-century popular culture and its unrelenting hunger for spectacle.

Praised for shedding new light on one of photography’s most enigmatic figures, the show invites visitors into the psyche of an artist who, as Hyperallergic notes, was “a self-made legend,” and whom The Guardian describes as “of his time and so far ahead of it.”

Don’t miss your final chance to experience this unforgettable journey through the eye—and mind—of Weegee.
