The exhibit catalog is in EXCELLENT CONDITION, with light wear along the cover edges, no interior marks in 142 clean and solidly bound glossy pages.
Synopsis of Reporters Without Borders and this collection from an newspaper article on this Exhibit in the US:
"Reporters Without Borders (Reporters Sans Frontiéres) is a French-based organization that defends journalists and promotes freedom of the press on five continents. In 2010, it observed the 25th anniversary of its founding.
Magnum Photos, founded in 1947, is to photojournalism what the Yankees are to baseball or, to use a comparison that's more fitting (and less irksome), what Cristal is to champagne. Legend has it that the Magnum name came from that size of champagne bottle, which had been shared over the lunch where the idea for the agency was agreed to.
The show "101 Photos for Press Freedom" honors a quarter century of Reporters Without Borders with that number of images from Magnum. It runs through April 22 at the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University and is also sponsored by the consulate-general of France. More than 60 Magnum photographers are represented....
... Taken in 1979, Susan Meiselas’s photo shows a Sandinista fighter about to hurl a Molotov cocktail. The show begins with two such: Robert Capa's photograph of a dying soldier in the Spanish Civil War and one of the pictures he took of the D-day landing. Predating Magnum's start, they're included as a tribute to Capa, the founder most closely associated with the agency. There's also the last picture he took, in 1954, moments before he stepped on a landmine in Indochina. There are images from Magnum's other founders, Henri Cartier-Bresson, David "Chim" Seymour, and George Rodger, too..."
