Centro Internacional de Fotografía
# Centro Internacional de Fotografía

El Centro Internacional de Fotografía (en inglés: International Center of Photography o ICP) es una escuela de fotografía, un museo y un centro de investigación fotográfica situado en Midtown Manhattan, en la ciudad de Nueva York. Se creó en 1974 y es la institución encargada, desde 1985, de otorgar los premios de fotografía Infinity Awards.

## Trayectoria

Kornél Friedmann fundó el centro en la Musseum mile (Milla de los museos), zona de la quinta avenida neoyorquina así denominada porque allí se concentran una decena de museos. Desde 1974 se han realizado más de quinientas exposiciones en el mismo y se ha presentado el trabajo de unos 3000 fotógrafos y de otros artistas. El origen del centro surge ante la necesidad de preservar la fotografía de reportaje y especialmente el trabajo de su hermano Ernö Friedmann y de fotógrafos como Werner Bischof, David Seymour, André Kertész, Leonard Freed y Dan Weiner. En consecuencia, en 1966 creó una fundación, llamada Fund for Concerned Photography, con este fin y ocho años después se creó su sede.

En 1985 se creó una subsede en Midtown Manhattan y en 1999 se vendió la sede de la quinta avenida abriéndose la actual en el 2000. De este modo se pudo disponer de unas instalaciones más adaptadas a las tareas educativas y a su función como museo. La escuela tiene unos 5.000 alumnos cada año ofreciendo clase de unas 400 asignaturas para obtener diversos máster, certificados y grados especializados. También dispone de una biblioteca especializada en fotografía de gran calidad y realiza publicaciones sobre estos temas de artes visuales.

Como museo dispone de una importante colección de fotografías de Weegee, Roman Vishniac y Robert y Cornell Capa, así como de otros fotógrafos: W. Eugene Smith, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Lisette Model, Gordon Parks, James VanDerZee, Garry Winogrand, Carrie Mae Weems, Justine Kurland, Katy Grannan, Vik Muniz, Tomoko Sawada o Susan Meiselas.

## Infinity Awards

El ICP alberga los Premios Infinity, que se inauguraron en 1985 "para llamar la atención del público sobre los logros más destacados en fotografía honrando a personas con carreras distinguidas en el campo e identificando luminarias futuras".
