Description

Scale the earth’s most inspiring mountains and breathtaking peaks through photographs selected from the Magnum archives, taken by some of the world’s most celebrated photographers.

Robert Capa portrays the glamour of skiing in the Alps; Chris Steele-Perkins offers a hallucinogenic view of Mt. Fuji; Steve McCurry shows us life in the shadow of Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush; Harry Gruyaert captures childhood in the Moroccan High Atlas; and Martin Parr contemplates Machu Picchu’s mysterious granite peaks.

Unique views, dramatic lighting, and superb composition make this exhibition a master class in photography. From breathtaking heights and majestic ridge lines to panoramic landscapes and dramatic terrains—these pictures illustrate everything there is to love, fear, and respect about the world’s mountains.
