NEW YORK (AP) --
A new museum exhibit opening this week in New York City will focus on the early photography work of film director Stanley Kubrick.
The New York Times reports the Museum of the City of New York will showcase Kubrick's photographs for Look magazine. Kubrick was a full-time New York-based photographer for the magazine from October 1946 through August 1950.
Look was generally considered a competitor to Life magazine and focused most of its attention on American pursuits and problems. It went out of business in 1971.
Kubrick died in 1999 and is best known for his work as a film director, including "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Dr. Strangelove."
"Stanley Kubrick: Through a Different Lens " opens on May 3 and runs through October 28.

In 2023, SuperStock acquired All Canada Photos, the country’s premier Canada-focused stock images agency, offering a rich imagery and multimedia content collection. That was followed in 2024 by its acquisition of the coveted Classic Stock collection.
Cohen was an early proponent of licensing. “I got super lucky in that when Getty bought their first footage collection called Fabulous Footage, Alwyn Gosford from Getty called me to help them design a path forward for filmmakers, because they knew that I was already doing combo live action and still shoots,” he recalled. “At the time, Getty had fantastic analysts and was seeing the trends before any of the ad agencies. And with this network of complementary houses we’re building, we definitely have an enhanced perspective on the marketplace.”
The View Pictures deal was consummated just recently at the Standard Hotel London, where the two teams invited the London photographers to celebrate with a rooftop toast. At the event, Cohen shared, “As the son of an architect, I understand the importance of this collection. We want to grow it and make it more relevant on both sides of the Atlantic.”
