dcoombs Posted April 30, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 30, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) The "Mexican Suitcase" refers to three boxes of negatives discovered in Mexico last year which contained work done during the Spanish Civil War by Robert Capa, Gerda Taro and David Seymour (Chim). There are some 4,300 negatives almost a third of which were Seymour's (co-founder of Magnum) which are apparently new to archivists. As these are all rolls, it has given people the opportunity to study the pictures in sequential fashion and get a sense of how they worked their subjects. The International Center of Photography in NYC is planning an exhibition for some time next year.

peter_n Posted April 30, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks for posting this, I was wondering about progress on the "Mexican Suitcase" recently. It is worth looking at some of the pictures linked to in the sidebar. Obviously Gerda Taro didn't flinch from her documentary duties. Can't wait for the new exhibit in 2010.
