Americana Fantastica

This selection of beautiful and bizarre images, spanning the history of photography, unveils a rich but little-noted strain of surrealism in American culture. The exhibition highlights recent additions and generous donations to the ICP Permanent Collection. This exhibition was organized by ICP's Chief Curator Brian Wallis.
