Lecture: Tod Papageorge – The Making of the Photographer 
at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, England

Friday, March 7, 2008
7:15 pm
Lecture Theatre at the V&A

Tod Papageorge will be giving a talk entitled The Making of the Photographer in the lecture theatre at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London on Friday 7th March as part of their Friday evening events.

Papageorge will be speaking about the evolution of his work from when he moved to New York in late 1965 until he left the city in 1993.

His discussion will include an examination of four different bodies of work, including those outlined in his two recently published monographs, as well as early street photographs made in Manhattan and a group of pictures produced over several decades in Paris. As one of the putative "last photographic heroes", as characterized by Gilles Mora in his recent book of the same title about American photographers of the sixties and seventies, Papageorge's talk should be particularly informative for anyone interested in recent history of American creative photography. To book tickets please call 44 (0) 20 7942 2211, or visit www.vam.ac.uk

The talk will coincide with an exhibition of Tod Papageorge's work at Michael Hoppen Contemporary
