Meyerowitz’s street photography spans decades, documenting the US’s ever-changing social landscape. An early advocate for color photography, Meyerowitz has impacted and influenced generations of artists. In this talk, he will discuss his career, archival process, as well as a special print project with Aperture and Meyerowitz’s archive, which will support Aperture’s educational and public programming and the scanning of over 140,000 previously unseen Meyerowitz Kodachrome slides.
