Monroe Gallery of Photography was located in Booth # 317, and we presented a special selection of some of the finest examples of 20th and 21st Century photojournalism and humanist imagery. The New York Times review of the show selected Monroe Gallery from the more than 70 exhibitors, mentioning Eddie Adams' iconic Street Execution of a Viet Cong Prisoner, shown in a very rare sequence of three prints.

We were very honored to welcome many of our esteemed photographers and their families to our booth throughout the show. We would like to graciously say "thank you" to all who attended, it was a wonderful week in New York.

We exhibited several historic photography by the renowned LIFE magazine photojournalist Bill Eppridge, including selections from his coverage of "Mississippi Burning" the James Cheney Funeral; and the 1968 presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy; which attracted the atention of galleriest's James Danzingers' "The Year in Pictures" blog.

On exhibit was Eppridge's shocking burned master print Robert F. Kennedy's assassination, which was the subject of several reviews of the show, incuding the prestigious DLK Collection Blog, which commented: "This booth was filled with top quality photojournalism, and the image below from the aftermath of the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy shows how a photograph can be tranformed into an amazing artifact - the only remaining original master print of this poignant moment has been ravaged by fire."
