At 98, iconic photographer Jerry Schatzberg proves cool never ages at Lower East Side gallery opening
Schatzberg was having a fabulous time at the Ki Smith Gallery on the Lower East Side last week, where he is a significant part of a group effort titled “Edie 66.” The show is based on the fascinating, and tragic, Warhol superstar Edie Sedgwick, who was only 23 in 1966. The show also includes work by Warhol’s indispensable assistant Gerard Malanga, photographer Adam Ritchie and Warhol himself.
In 1989, Harold Pinter and Jerry Schatzberg made the perfect Holocaust movie for 2026
Reunion, a 1989 film by director Jerry Schatzberg, with a screenplay by Harold Pinter based on a novel by Fred Uhlman, barely made a splash when it premiered in the United States, despite a largely positive European reception. Now, it’s being re-released, beginning with a two-week run at Manhattan’s Film Forum that opens this weekend. It’s almost a perfect Holocaust movie for our times — because it chronicles a moment much like our own, in which the gradual dissolution of society began to make itself known through the gradual dissolution of personal relationships.

Unsung Auteurs: Jerry Schatzberg
No Jerry Schatzberg, no The Godfather. Well, there actually likely still would have been a The Godfather, but it would certainly not have been as good. Why? Because it was Jerry Schatzberg who discovered Al Pacino on the stage and gave him his first major lead role in 1971’s The Panic In Needle Park, which (as seen in the wildly entertaining and utterly mesmeric new TV series The Offer) prompted Francis Ford Coppola to fight to have the young, largely unknown actor take centre stage in his much touted mob epic.

Jerry Schatzberg on Battling Studios, Working with Actors, and Finding the Realism in The Panic in Needle Park
Jerry Schatzberg is among the great American filmmakers who changed the landscape in the 1970s, but his name is one that has taken some time to get the recognition it deserves. While he may not have landed with the same initial impact as a Francis Ford Coppola or Martin Scorsese, the years have been kind to films like The Panic in Needle Park and Scarecrow, invigorating a passion that ranks them as some of the decade’s very best.
'The Panic in Needle Park’ Director Recalls the 70s, a Young Al Pacino, and Risking his Life for a Good Shot on 50th Anniversary
There are a handful of parks around the world that have been referred to as “Needle Park,” because heroin addicts have shot up in them. But the authentic Needle Park (a dubious distinction, but part of our lore) was on the Upper West Side: a sliver of a traffic island, wedged between Broadway and Amsterdam, off 71st Street, which played a leading role in a 1971 film classic.
Jerry Schatzberg on Models, Gene Hackman’s Retirement and the Scarecrow Sequel
Jerry Schatzberg hated working in his parents’ fur business. They sold their coats to retailers wholesale and only came in finite templates. Schatzberg was frustrated by their lack of variation, and wondered why no one ever mixed and matched the furs into something new. Bored in the showroom, he read Town & Country—not out of an early attraction to fashion, but because it was the only magazine ever there.
