TRUE CRIME
In “Weegee: Murder Is My Business,” the InternationalCenterofPhotography focusses on the years between 1935 and 1946 in the career of the prolific New York photojournalist, who got tips from a portable police-band radio and used the trunk of his car as a darkroom—the faster to deliver his lurid pictures to newspapers. The exhibition includes a re-creation of Weegee’s apartment, and of the exhibitions of his own work that he organized at the Photo League. Opens Jan. 20.
