PEOPLE
Celebrating 50 Years
In celebration of PEOPLE Magazine's 50th anniversary, Fotografiska is proud to present the brand's first-ever museum exhibition! PEOPLE: Celebrating 50 Years is a unique archive of original covers and photographs from the magazine, as well as multimedia and interactive elements that invite visitors themselves to become cover stars.
PEOPLE’s success is deeply connected to the power of the photographic image, with the very first prospectus for the magazine stating, “the succession of dramatic images should make turning the pages irresistible.” Some of the greatest photographers of their generation have worked with PEOPLE, including Harry Benson, Gordon Parks, Co Rentmeester (and daughter Coliena Rentmeester), Ruven Afanador, Elinor Carucci and Art Streiber.
The exhibit is co-curated by Pauline Vermare, an independent photography historian and curator.
