The exhibition at the CAMERA WORK gallery is dedicated to the life work of Steve Schapiro (1934–2022) and includes around 30 photographs, some of which have never before been seen in an exhibition. Schapiro’s career began in 1961, during the ‘Golden Age of Photojournalism’, when he covered, for instance, Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential campaign. Steve Schapiro was also the first photographer at the scene when Martin Luther King was assassinated. Numerous portraits by Schapiro (including Andy Warhol, David Bowie, Muhammad Ali, Samuel Beckett, Truman Capote, Barbra Streisand, and Jackie Kennedy) are now world-famous and important visual testimonies to contemporary history. Alongside his work as a photojournalist, Steve Schapiro was active as a photographer on the sets of more than 600 films (including The Godfather and Taxi Driver). His photographs have been published in numerous well-known magazines since the 1960s and exhibited in museums and galleries around the world.
