Nat Finkelstein’s Photography Retrospective
London’s Idea Generation Gallery is displaying a retrospective of photographs taken by respected twentieth-century photojournalist Nat Finkelstein. Finkelstein documented important elements of pop-culture including Andy Warhol’s infamous “Factory” (the pop-artist’s original New York City Studio) along with historic events of the American Civil Rights Movement and anti-war protests during the 1960s and American scenes and subjects associated with the various subcultures of the 1980s and 90s.
Finkelstein, who passed away this past October, has a priceless collection of photographs that provide a visual record of the life and times of the second half of the twentieth-century.
Many of his photographs are included in permanent collections at some of the world’s most famous museums (including New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, Pittsburgh’s Andy Warhol Museumand the Smithsonian Institutes’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC).
