Do you recognize this photograph?

McCurry’s Afghan Girl of 1984 preceeds the current craze for middle-eastern subjects in contemporary art and is one of the most famous photographs of the past few decades. It is one of 16 photos by the American photojournalist Steve McCurry now on display in Lucca, along with 20 works by Italian photographer Piero Gilardi displayed on a separate level of the museum.

The purpose of the double-personal exhibit is not to suggest comparison between the two photographers but to propose two different stories, reflections on time, of varying levels of objectivity.

Exhibit information:

Piero Gilardi & Steve McCurry, “TIME AFTER TIME”
curated by Maurizio Vanni & Alessandro Romanini
July 10 to Sept 5 2010
Lu.C.C.A. – Lucca Center of Contemporary Art (LU)

I saw the Steve McCurry exhibit in Perugia. Fantastico! It was entirely worth the stop on our way from Umbria to Toscano. This looks like a great opportunity to see 2 artists in the same visit to Lucca. Wish I could be there.

Thanks Annette! One of my colleagues also saw it in Perugia; good to know that it's worth the trip. Lucca is great, too, one of my favourite day trips from Florence.
