Gordon Parks at Jack Shainman Gallery

Joy arises from moments of hope in photos of Harlem rallies shot by Gordon Parks in 1963, now on view at Jack Shainman Gallery.  Elsewhere, a protester’s sign reading ‘Policy brutality must go’ connects powerfully to today’s protests while iconic images from Parks’ series Segregation Story document the lives of Alabama families impacted by discrimination.  (On view at Jack Shainman Gallery’s two Chelsea locations through Feb 20th).
