Exhibition Label: “Embodiment,” Nov-2005, Kate Meyer At the age of ten, Weegee and his family left Poland to emigrate to the United States. Weegee is best known for his unblinking photographs of his adoptive home, New York, at night. The innocent and the guilty, the accused and their victims, the powerful and the weak all appear equally and without judgment in Weegee’s photographs. His is a collective portrait of the city in all its diversity.
