Helen Levitt: In the Street April 25 - September 21, 2014 | Jepson Center For more than seventy years, Helen Levitt used her camera to capture fresh and unstudied views of everyday life on the streets of New York City. Roaming through the Lower East Side, Spanish Harlem and other urban neighborhoods, Levitt began her career equipped with a handheld Leica with a right-angle viewfinder, which allowed her to remain unobtrusive as she documented life in the city... This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of Mrs. Robert O. Levitt.

Thur, April 24 11:00 Am Jepson Center Lecture on Helen Levitt by Jeff Rosenheim, Curator in Charge, Department of Photographs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
