This event is now at capacity.

Join Aperture and the Whitney Museum of American Art for a conversation amongst Judy Glickman Lauder; Adam D. Weinberg, Alice Pratt Brown Director, Whitney Museum of American Art; and Anjuli Lebowitz, Judy Glickman Lauder Associate Curator of Photography, Portland Museum of Art, Maine, to celebrate Presence: The Photography Collection of Judy Glickman Lauder (Aperture, 2022). The conversation will be followed by a book signing and reception.

Presence is a thrilling immersion into the personal collection of Judy Glickman Lauder. Nearly 160 images by some eighty photographers, selected from Glickman Lauder’s collection of over 650 prints, explore the idea of “presence” of the human spirit. This stunningly designed album showcases the imagery of beloved and influential photographers of the twentieth century, such as Berenice Abbott, Richard Avedon, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Imogen Cunningham, Nan Goldin, Susan Meiselas, Gordon Parks, Sebastião Salgado, Weegee, and James Van Der Zee. Spanning Pictorialism, portraiture, and fashion, to documentary and photojournalism, and featuring iconic figures from the fields of art, politics, entertainment, and social justice, Presence: The Photography Collection of Judy Glickman Lauder celebrates photography’s ability to capture the human experience.

This book accompanies an exhibition drawn from the Judy Glickman Lauder Collection at the Portland Museum of Art, Maine, to which the Collection has been gifted. Published by Aperture in partnership with the Portland Museum of Art.
