A tale of two New York Cities - in pictures

The Guardian - Friday 6 January, 2012

A pair of mid-20th-century photography exhibitions portray the extremes of life in the Big Apple. While Cecil Beaton's work chronicles his frolics shooting stars and socialites, shots from the New York Photo League's archives document groups of people Beaton snootily overlooked

Cecil Beaton: The New York Years is at the Museum of the City of New York until 20 Feb 2012
The Radical Camera: New York's Photo League, 1936-1951 is at the Jewish Museum, New York until 25 March
