  • International Center of Photography 79 Essex Street New York, NY, 10002 United States (map)

A group show conceived as a mixtape of songs gifted to a lover, Love Songs features photographic projects about love and intimacy from more than 15 contemporary photographers, including Nobuyoshi Araki, Ergin Çavuşoğlu, Motoyuki Daifu, Fouad Elkoury, Aikaterini Gegisian, Nan Goldin, René Groebli, Hervé Guibert, Sheree Hovsepian, Clifford Prince King, Leigh Ledare, Sally Mann, RongRong & inri, Collier Schorr, Karla Hiraldo Voleau, and Lin Zhipeng (alias no. 223). 

Through the myriad lens of intimate relationships, Love Songs brings together series dating from 1952 to 2022 by some of the leading photographers of our time that explore love, desire and intimacy in all their most complex and contradictory ways. The exhibition is the U.S. museum debut for work by Aikaterini Gegisian and Lin Zhipeng (aka no. 223), the first New York City museum presentation of the work of Sheree Hovsepian and Motoyuki Daifu, and the U.S. debut of the work of Karla Hiraldo Voleau.
