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.

Weegee’s ‘Naked Hollywood’ at MOCA

Weegee, a.k.a. photojournalist Arthur Fellig, derived his moniker from the phonic adaptation of the Ouija board, because of his customary arrivals at crime scenes minutes before the authorities. That was in his heyday in New York City during the 1930s and ’40s, when he made a name for himself with his intrepid film noir-esque black-and-white photos of five-alarm fires, horrific accidents and the blood-spattered corpses of murdered mobsters.
In 1947, Weegee relocated to Los Angeles to take on the equally formidable Hollywood scene…

The show runs through Feb. 27.
