The Vilcek Foundation Celebrates LOST: A Showcase of International Artists and Filmmakers of ABC’s Hit Show May 2010

Portraits by Peter Hurley

In May 2010, The Vilcek Foundation gave LOST fans grieving the end of their favorite television program a behind-the-scenes view of the diverse cast and crew, along with many of the iconic props from the show. By focusing on the images and backgrounds of 20 immigrant and first-generation contributors to the wildly popular television show, the Foundation also advanced its primary mission: to heighten awareness of foreign-born contributions to American culture. LOST’s executive producer Carlton Cuse, writer Melinda Hsu Taylor, actor Jorge Garcia (“Hurley”), and cinematographer John Bartley, were among the featured artists. Portraits by Peter Hurley.
