Ironworld Exhibits War Photos
Ironworld presents moving and powerful images of the Vietnam War in a memorial titled Requiem: By the Photographers Who Died in Vietnam and Indochina January 26 through April 20 This exhibit features 290 images taken by photojournalists who were killed or reported missing while covering the conflict. This is the first time the collection has been exhibited in Minnesota.
Requiem encompasses images taken by men and women on both sides who gave their lives while on the job during the conflict, which began with the French Indochina War of the 1950s, and culminated with the fall of Phnom Penh and Saigon in 1975.
The photographs were among the thousands gathered by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Horst Faas, and freelance photographer Tim Page. The men, who were both wounded in Vietnam, decided that the works of famous photojournalists like Robert Capa and Larry Burrows would hang alongside those of unknown photographers who contributed significant pictures before dying.
