The Magnum Foundation & Green World Campaign
 
In anticipation of the 2011 United Nations Year of the Forest, the Magnum Foundation is pleased to announce its first fundraising exhibition, GIVING TREES, at 25 CPW Gallery in New York. For your use I have attached an interview with photographer Bruce Davidson conducted on the opening night of the fundraiser. The prints are also available online on Magnum Photos and Feature Shoot, links are provided below.
 
The GIVING TREES exhibit brings together images drawn from the world-renowned Magnum Photos archive, each one celebrating the tree and its essential place in our world's landscape. In addition, the exhibit focuses on the necessity of acting now to "Re-Green the World." The proceeds from the sale of these prints will be shared between the Magnum Foundation and the Green World Campaign, a non-profit organization that plants trees to restore the ecology and economy of some of the world's poorest places.
 
Participating Magnum photographers include Bruce Davidson, Gilles Peress, Danny Lyon, Larry Towell, Jim Goldberg, Alec Soth, Steve McCurry, Martine Franck, Stuart Franklin, John Vink, Harry Gruyaert, Jonas Bendiksen, Mark Power, Peter Marlow, Jean Gaumy, Geuorgui Pinkhassov and Trent Parke.
 
The exhibition will be on view from December 3rd, 2010 through January 9th, 2011 at CPW Gallery (www.25cpw.org), located at 25 Central Park West.
