To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the International Center of Photography has mounted ICP at 50: From the Collection, 1845-2019, a palate-whetting smorgasbord of a show, with 170 pictures that illustrate the history and breadth of the medium, from 19th-century daguerreotypes to 21st-century Conceptual art.
In a practical sense, when he established the ICP, he wanted first to find a home for the archive of his brother and three photojournalists who had also died young... The other impulse was for concerned photography that said something about what was happening in the world, David E. Little, the executive director of the ICP, said in a recent phone interview. Yet the interesting thing is, if you look at the history of exhibitions, ICP always addressed photography in all of its forms.
