The Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Division of Art, Prints and Photographs are proud to present a screening of “On The Street”. The film will be followed by a Q&A with director John Spellos and photographer Amy Arbus. It will be held on Wednesday, February 1, 2012, @ 7 pm in the South Court Auditorium of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. In 2006, Welcome Books prepared to publish a book of the photographs Amy Arbus made for the On The Street section of the Village Voice from 1980 to 1990. As Arbus combed through the 500 images published to make selections for the book, she wondered where many of these people were today. Enter filmmaker John Spellos who followed Arbus as she tracked down her former subjects and interviewed them some 25 years later.
