Hauser & Wirth is honored to present its first New York City exhibition devoted to the work of Sir Don McCullin CBE, lauded internationally as one of the most influential photojournalists of our time. McCullin’s most comprehensive US presentation to date will bring together nearly fifty works from his multi-layered oeuvre and coincides with the artist’s 90th birthday.
Complemented by seldom seen archival materials and historical ephemera, the exhibition will offer visitors a deep look at the astonishingly diverse events, people and landscapes he has captured over the past seven decades. From unfiltered images of gritty postwar Britain and the front lines of war in Vietnam, to intimate portraits of daily life in East Africa and Southeast Asia, and meditative images of classical sculpture, painterly European vistas and meticulously crafted still lifes, the various channels of McCullin’s efforts are united by an innate and profound compassion as well as mastery of both composition and process, making him one of the most admired living documentarians of the late 20th Century.
