Winning the White House

From official portraits and campaign ads to selfies and televised debates, images play an essential role in every presidential campaign. “Winning the White House: From Press Prints to Selfies”—presented by the International Center of Photography at the Southampton Arts Center—explores the complex relationship between candidates’ representations in visual media and their carefully created and tightly controlled campaign images.

Organized by ICP’s Assistant Curators Susan Carlson and Claartje van Dijk, Winning the “White House: From Press Prints to Selfies” features works by Cornell Capa, Grey Villet, Elliott Erwitt, Bill Eppridge, Chris Buck, Stephen Crowley, Ken Light, Mark Peterson, Antoni Muntadas and Marshall Reese, and others as well as campaign ephemera, posters, and video materials created for candidates from John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

The Southampton Arts Center is located at 25 Jobs Lane, Southampton, NY. Gallery hours are Thursday–Sunday from 12 to 6 PM. Admission is free and open to the public
