Immerse yourself in the world of this famous and audacious photographer in an unprecedented photography exhibition! With more than 100 large-format photographs, ICONS is one of the most complete retrospectives of the career of Steve McCurry, one of the main international figures in the world of photography over the last 30 years. And if, on the one hand, his work encompasses conflicts, endangered cultures, ancient traditions and contemporary culture, on the other hand, he always maintains the human element that made his famous photograph of the Afghan girl such a powerful image. This unprecedented journey through the inspiration, life and work of the artist—who has already been recognised with some of the most prestigious awards in the industry—is not to be missed!
