Limited-Edition Print by Jamel Shabazz Benefits NYC Charities

A limited-edition pigment print by Brooklyn-born photographer Jamel Shabazz, titled 'Too Fly, Downtown Brooklyn, 1982,' is available for sale, with all artist proceeds donated to New York City charities in need. The image, measuring 6 3/8 by 9 1/2 inches on 8 by 10 inch paper, is part of an edition of 100, signed and numbered by Shabazz. Known for documenting New York City's diversity and street style since the 1980s, Shabazz reflects that Downtown Brooklyn once served as a vibrant shopping district and backdrop for his work, capturing a lost era. His photographs have been featured in Aperture publications, including issues #223, #230, and #242, and exhibitions such as 'Prison Nation' and 'The New Black Vanguard' at Aperture Gallery. In 2021, fourteen of his portraits were displayed on large lightboxes at Rockefeller Center, following a discussion hosted by Aperture and Rockefeller Center on March 30, 2021, with writer Tanisha C. Ford. Shabazz's accolades include awards from the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation in 2010 and the Gordon Parks Foundation in 2018, and his work is held in collections like the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. He participated in a two-person exhibition, 'A Choice of Weapons, Honor and Dignity,' with Gordon Parks at the Minnesota Museum of American Art in St. Paul in 2020.
