Icons & Idols: A Photographer’s Chronicle of the Arts, 1960–1995 is an exhibition of the work of Jack Mitchell. During the second half of the 20th century, Mitchell photographed many of America’s finest actors, directors, writers, artists, composers, musicians, dancers, and choreographers in his New York studio. His subjects have all attained iconic status in their respective fields. This exhibition features more than 130 black and white photographs, which include such celebrities as Jack Nicholson, Alfred Hitchcock, Truman Capote, Andy Warhol, Philip Glass, Neil Diamond, Rudolf Nureyev, and Merce Cunningham.
