From February 8 to March 9, Cavalier Galleries will present a significant exhibition of works by renowned American photographer Steve McCurry at their Chelsea and Greenwich locations. The exhibition will offer a comprehensive look at McCurry’s impactful career, showcasing his journey across continents and cultures through his lens.
McCurry, celebrated for his vivid and insightful photographic storytelling, made his first significant mark in the world of photography with his daring coverage of the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan. Disguised in local attire, he captured images that were among the first to document the conflict, launching his career as a photojournalist. His work has since spanned the globe, documenting everything from conflicts to vanishing cultures, always with a keen eye for the human element in his subjects. This aspect of his work is epitomized by his famous ‘Afghan Girl‘ photograph, which has gained iconic status worldwide.
Throughout his career, McCurry has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the Robert Capa Gold Medal. He was recently honored with the Centenary Medal for Lifetime Achievement by the Royal Photographic Society in London and was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame in 2019.
Cavalier Galleries, established in 1986, has a reputation for presenting a diverse selection of fine painting, sculpture, and photography by contemporary artists. The gallery operates premier exhibition spaces in New York, Greenwich, Palm Beach, and Nantucket, and offers private sales of modern masterworks.
The exhibition at Cavalier Galleries is an opportunity for photography enthusiasts and collectors to delve into McCurry’s vast body of work, offering insights into various global narratives and cultures. It promises to be a reflective showcase of his journey as a photographer, capturing moments of conflict, tradition, and contemporary life, while always focusing on the human story.
This exhibition promises to be more than just a display of photographs; it is set to be a journey through the lens of one of the most significant photographers of our time. For those interested in the intersections of culture, history, and storytelling through photography, Steve McCurry’s exhibition at Cavalier Galleries is an event not to be missed.
