Steve McCurry Icons

ICONS brings to the Palau Martorell the work of Steve McCurry, one of the great names in contemporary photography, in an exhibition curated by Biba Giacchetti.

From iconic portraits to scenes of everyday resilience, McCurry transforms fleeting encounters into enduring images that speak of fragility, hope and the shared experience of being human. In an age of distraction and division, these photographs invite us to pause, to truly see, and to recognise ourselves in others.

"There is a moment, standing before certain photographs, in which time seems to stand still. The gaze of the viewer meets that of the person who has been seen, and something essential passes between them. This is the threshold that ICONS invites you to cross." — Biba Giacchetti
