International Center of Photography Celebrates Five Pioneering Women in the Field at 40th Annual Infinity Awards
Photo Review Competition Announced and Closes May 15th
ICP’s 40th Annual Infinity Award winners: Lynsey Addario, Renell Medrano, Shirin Neshat, Wendy Red Star, and Caryl S. Englander–the first time ICP’s Infinity Awards has awarded five women for their achievements.
On Wednesday, April 10, photographers, artists, business leaders, philanthropists, fans and friends of the International Center of Photography (ICP) gathered at The Shed in NYC for a sold-out event to celebrate five pioneering women for their creativity, leadership and contributions to photography as an art and a discipline. ICP’s 40th Annual Infinity Awards, sponsored by HEARST and Kering, honored Lynsey Addario, Renell Medrano, Shirin Neshat, Wendy Red Star, and Caryl S. Englander–the first time ICP’s Infinity Awards has awarded five women for their achievements.
Hosted by Vincent J. Musi, the 40th Annual Infinity Awards included a live and silent auction featuring fine art prints by notable contemporary practitioners, including Annie Leibovitz, Mickalene Thomas, Cindy Sherman, Sebastião Salgado and others. During the event, each awardee was accompanied by a short film, telling the powerful and often personal story of their journey in photography. Following the main program, a more informal “Nightcap” cocktail hour welcomed a festive crowd to mingle with Infinity Award honorees, gala guests, and colleagues.
“We're thrilled that the New York City cultural, civic, and philanthropic communities continue to support our work at ICP, especially during our 50th anniversary year which is a special milestone for the institution.” Bob Jeffrey, Chief Executive Officer of ICP, said. “This year’s Infinity Award honorees personify what it means to embody ICP’s mission in their work and in the world. More women are at the helm of guiding photography in practice, behind the lens, and in shaping the institutional and academic conversations about photography as an art and mass medium. We’re proud that ICP continues to be at the center of advancing those discussions and to invest in those who steer them into the future.”
The evening surpassed a goal of raising $1.2 million for ICP’s initiatives that will support exhibition programming and its growing education offerings that reach thousands of students across the world annually.
