ICP Closing Midtown Museum Location; Announces 2014 Infinity Award Winners

The International Center of Photography (ICP) is closing its midtown museum location when its lease from the Durst Organization comes to an end in January 2015. It is currently looking for a new space. Founded in 1974, the ICP has been in its current location since the 1980s. The ICP School, which is across the street from the museum, at 1114 Avenue of the Americas, will remain in its location.
