NEW YORK – At the beginning of September, 1500 Gallery will be hosting a
special exhibition in recognition of the 10th Anniversary of 9/11: PIIOTOS_WTC,
an exhibition of photographs of the Twin Towers by 22 of Brazil’s most
recognized photographers who lived, worked or were passing through NYC
between 1973 (the year the Twin Towers were inaugurated) and 2011.
