An-My Lê: 29 Palms

0
Photographer An-My Lê’s 29 Palms is a series of black-and-white photographs made in the California desert where US marines train for battle prior to deployment. Evoking familiar images of war-afflicted sites in Iraq and Afghanistan, Lê’s photographs instead depict American soldiers on domestic soil acting out the theatre of conflict in fabricated villages and against “enemies” portrayed by fellow marines.…
Multitude, Solitude: The Photographs of Dave Heath

Multitude, Solitude: The Photographs of Dave Heath

0
The photographs of Dave Heath (1931-2016) evoke an intense, bittersweet vision of modern life. Abandoned by his parents at the age of four, he grew up in Philadelphia foster homes and an orphanage. This sense of physical and emotional homelessness shaped his artistic vision. Through the camera, Heath channeled his personal feelings into a deeper and larger statement about loss,…

What connects the lascivious intimacy in the pictures made during the 1940’s by Carlo Mollino, baroque genius and free spirit, and the modern amazons glorified by Helmut Newton in their provocative eroticism during the 1980’s? The woman, muse in all the splendour of the naked body she offers to the world. Through eighteen vintage prints, SAGE Paris proposes a quick…

Richard Gordon: Loved Photography Too Much

Richard Gordon: Loved Photography Too Much

0
With the ubiquity of the photographic medium today, Richard Gordon’s work reminds us just how compelling an informed and creative perspective can be. Often his images are witty and quirky and evoke his dry sense of humor. The work in this exhibition was taken primarily in the 1970’s in New York City and along the West Coast. Gordon frequently examined…

Herb Ritts: Super

Herb Ritts: Super

0
Ritts was largely self-taught with no formal training in photography, yet by the late 1980s he had become a celebrity, just like the people he photographed, “a testament to his natural talents and likeability… Some people are born visually sophisticated – they don’t have to be taught composition.” (David Fahey) Ritts played an important role in ushering the era of…

Enrique Metinides: Exhibition

0
From 1948 until his forced retirement in 1979, the Mexican photographer Enrique Metinides took thousands of images and followed hundreds of stories in and around Mexico City. And what images and stories they were: car wrecks and train derailments, a bi-plane crashed on to a roof, street stabbings and shootings in the park, apartments and petrol stations set alight, earthquakes,…

Miklós Vörös: Lost and Found

Though at first glance they seem like random junk stacked next to each other, in reality, the compositions of lost and found objects are well-thought, revealing us fascinating stories. The photos of Miklós Vörös are exhibited at the Faur Zsófi Gallery until 28th of February. A cracked safety helmet, half a pair of gloves, a measuring tape, a radio cassette…

Born in 1941 and raised in Ostrava, Kolář fled to Austria soon after the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia.

Susan kae Grant: Convergence

0
Constructed entirely as triptychs, these new works envision multiple states of consciousness, adding a cinematic nature to the viewer’s experience. Moving from image to image is simultaneously engaging and unsettling which suggests a strong sense of familiarity and disorientation. Viewing the images in sequence reminds one of a desire to make connections from moments of episodic memory. Some are fleeting,…
