Leica Gallery New York Presents Les Fincher

Leica Gallery in New York is gearing up for a remarkable exhibition titled Les Fincher: Behind the Scenes of Laurie Anderson's Home of the Brave, opening October 29, 2026, and running through December 6, 2026. This exhibition commemorates the 40th anniversary of Laurie Anderson's groundbreaking performance film and album, Home of the Brave.



During the production of the film in 1986, Les Fincher served as the on-set still photographer, entrusted with the task of capturing the essence and spirit of Anderson's innovative work. With unrestricted access to the set, Fincher skillfully wielded four Leica film cameras, documenting the immersive experience of the performance while seamlessly blending into the background. His photographs offer a rare glimpse into the creative process, showing a unique perspective of both the performers on stage and the crew behind the scenes.

The exhibition showcases an eclectic mix of vintage and modern prints, many of which have never been displayed before. This selection strives to reflect the pivotal moment in Anderson's illustrious career and invites viewers to connect with the emotions and narratives embedded in her work.

On November 12, 2026, Fincher will hold a discussion about his experiences shooting the making of Home of the Brave. He will delve into his interactions with Anderson and the performers, offering insights into the photographs that punctuate this significant chapter of her journey.

The exhibition's opening reception is scheduled for Thursday, October 29, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, providing an opportunity for guests to explore the visual storytelling that defines Anderson's artistry. Additionally, the gallery will facilitate a Gallery Talk with Les Fincher at 6:30 PM on November 12, with RSVPs required via Eventbrite for both events.

Leica Gallery New York continues to uphold its dedication to celebrating visual storytelling. They aim to connect exceptional talents in photography with audiences, enthusiasts, collectors, and the greater photographic community.
