Elliott Erwitt: Last Laughs at Staley-Wise Gallery, New York: May 15 – August 2, 2025
No one could encapsulate the inherent comedy of everyday life quite like the late US image-maker Elliott Erwitt. A master of canny composition, the photographer frequently raised a smile, or even elicited a chuckle, with his whimsical works. Now, two years after his death, the photojournalist’s gallery, Staley-Wise, is showcasing a selection of his funniest shots, captured in elegant black and white over the course of his storied career. From characterful dogs (an Erwitt favourite) to entertaining encounters in art galleries, the show is a tribute to Erwitt’s warm-witted – and keen-eyed – zest for life.
