The Stallion, 2021
Inkjet on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta paper, mounted, framed with museum glass
52,5 x 70 cm / framed 55 x 72 cm / Edition of 12 plus 2 artist's proofs | | | | | | | | ... until 8 January 2022 | | |  | | | | | | | | | | A woman stands turned away from us, dressed in classic black dressage pants - hair gently gathered under her helmet by a hairnet. The sleeves of her white blouse are rolled up, torso slightly arched, shoulders together. Her leather riding boots are securely grounded beneath her, preparing to confront the dark void ahead.
The Rider Vol. 1 is an ideological progression from Anja Niemi's previous series The Blow (2019), in which a female boxer has the lead role. The Blow is an allegory for struggle, and the countless number of conflicts we as humans wrestle with. As with all of Niemi’s work, the narratives she constructs and then performs act as allegorical amplifiers to the conversations that lie beneath.
In her latest series Niemi recreates her character's struggle in the form of a rider and her horse. Trust and the will to understand each other are essential to their mutual bond. In good times they are one, connected in trust and respect. They are on an open-ended journey, a journey that requires perseverance and the suspension of fear.
Involuntary disembarkation (2021). A jodhpur trapped in a stirrup, with its leather strap tangled and hanging in thin air, hints to events of the past. Reminding us of the traumas that haunt us. The Rider is about the freedom found in progress and the ability to displace fear even if it’s temporary.
The Rider Vol. 1 is a declaration of love, for the creatures the artist simultaneously fears and adores.
Anja Niemi (1976) studied at Parsons School of Design in New York and has exhibited in galleries worldwide. Four monographs of her work have been published and her images are part of various public and private collections. Recent museum exhibitions include Fotografiska (Stockholm and Tallinn), MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, Lisbon), Des Moines Art Center (Iowa) and Figge Art Museum (Davenport). | | |

© hari_klia | | | SEEN BY #16: Regeneration as Medium | | | | | | | 26 November 2021 - 16 January 2022 | | | | "SEEN BY #16" is part of the exhibition cooperation between Kunstbibliothek - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and Universität der Künste Berlin at the Museum für Fotografie. | | | | | | | | | | | | | Written while she was battling both breast cancer and the medical practices used for its treatment, the poet and activist Audre Lorde articulated a series of propositions on how she battled despair during the laboured process of effecting change; namely, by "knowing that this work did not begin with my birth nor will it end with my death. And it means knowing that within this continuum, my life and my love and my work has particular power and meaning relative to others." Published with a series of essays titled The Cancer Journals, the introduction aimed to generate passion for survival and agency, as well as its continuity - not only for herself and her contemporaries, but for the continuum of generations inspired by her words.
Regeneration as Medium takes Lorde’s words as "poethical" inspiration for thinking through the concept of regeneration as a process of renewal, restoration, and regrowth performed not only within nature by energy sources, microorganisms, flora, and animals such as ourselves, but also as an artistic, poetic, and ethical medium. If we consider Lorde’s quote as pointing towards the possibilities of reading the past practices of artists and activists as generative for ourselves, or our practices as regenerative for the future, we can begin to think the concept of regeneration as practiced within the natural world and apply it within the work of artistic and poetic practices. Regeneration as Medium adopts the concept of regeneration as a strategy of resilience, survival, and agency and enacts it as an artistic and poetic medium that can work in service of present-day enunciative and political needs.
The works in Regeneration as Medium examine regeneration through the vectors of a… | | |

| | Ilse Bing, Circus Acrobat on Black Ball, New York, 1936–7
8.75 x 11.625 inches
Vintage gelatin silver print
$28,000 USD (plus tax & framing) | | | | | | | | | | | | | ... until 15 December 2021 | | | | | | | | | | | | | In “The Fine Print,” Robert Klein Gallery is proud to exhibit a curated selection of works by “darkroom alchemists” from the gallery’s collection to illustrate the beauty and skill behind creating prints that become masterpieces.
“The pursuit of the perfect print has long been one of the principles behind the value of photography,” says gallerist and long-time photography dealer Robert Klein.
But what makes a print “perfect”? And in an age where most images we encounter are made up of thousands of tiny pixels instead of traditionally crafted darkroom photographs, how does one discern an average print from a spectacular photograph?
The 17 works on view are poignant reminders of the aesthetic advancements that took place in the darkroom—these works encourage viewers to slow down and lean in, each representing a different approach to creating the perfect print.
For a photographer like Jerry Uelsmann, darkroom excellence might be achieved by creating a fantastical image, one that can’t be found in reality. By combining many negatives onto a single sheet of paper in a complicated technical process, Uelsmann paved the way for photoshop. Works like The Philosopher (1976) transport viewers into a surreal office, one in which a cloudy sky replaces the ceiling and a man the size of a pencil hikes up a lecturn.
But for Paul Caponigro, capturing nature in precise and illuminating detail is the goal: “The key is to not let the camera, which depicts nature in so much detail, reveal just what the eye picks up, but what the heart picks up as well,” said Caponigro. Although the human eye cannot focus on multiple things at one time, a camera with the right operator can illuminate every detail in the frame, giving an unbelievable amount of clarity and depth to a photograph.
“In Two Pears (1999), we have an example of virtuosity in the darkroom,” says Klein. “This kind of photography requires such a complete understanding of filters and light and how film responds to different spectrums of light waves. You not only had to understand that as you were taking the picture—you also had to understand how the paper responds in the darkroom.”
Joined by Uelsmann and Caponigro are artists like Man Ray, Yousuf Karsh, Ilse Bing, Ansel Adams, Ruth Bernhard, and more. The show will run through December 15th at the gallery’s Newbury Street space and online on Artsy. Email inquiry@robertkleingallery.com to schedule a time to visit. | | |

| | | | | | | | 3 December 2021 – 6 February 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | With his current photographs, Paul Kooiker (*1964, Rotterdam) moves at the interface between fashion and art. Using smartphones, apps and digital post-processing, he creates a new, idiosyncratic and internationally acclaimed fashion photography.
Paul Kooiker often exaggerates the shape of bodies to the extreme. Using artificial body extensions, wigs, and extravagant clothing as well as dramatic lighting, shadow, and fragmentation, he creates a unique visual language whose surreal undertone often recalls icons of photography and art history.
Social themes such as diversity, body positivity, or the fetishization of bodies, which the fashion world takes up, also translate directly into Kooiker's image production. Between the queer and avant-garde creations of the designers and the nostalgically anarchic look of his photographs, an effective power typical of Kooiker emerges.
It is the first time that Kooiker’s fashion photographs will be on display in an institutional context. He publishes extensive photo spreads in magazines such as Vogue Italia, Dazed & Confused and AnOther. Kooiker realizes shoots for well-known brands such as Givenchy, Rick Owens and Viktor & Rolf.
The newly acquired series of 24 photographs will enter into dialogue with works from the Photographic Collection's holdings, including Cindy Sherman, Grete Stern, and Juergen Teller. | | |

Baryta colour inkjet print
60 x 90 cm | | | | | | | | | | | | | ... until 18 December 2021 | | | | | | | | | | | | | "The city exists as a mass and is scattered in seeds, in gramen, but what raises and rouses these seeds, touches them, makes them spin, is the luminous palpitation of the beings who walk through it, these are the paths themselves". Jean-Christophe Bailly
Each of the works in the exhibition "Urban Spirit" is like one of the seeds mentioned by Jean-Christophe Bailly: receptacles of germinating potential, urban experiences of ready to bloom.
Through the works of twenty-one artists, the exhibition poses the question of what the 'life' of a city is. Whether panoramic or fragmented, the image of urban space is constantly charged by life, even when humans aren't involved.
The city is a body, with a nervous system and limbs. Like every being, it is traversed by the paradox of being inhabited by stability as well as movement, identity as well as change. It is a plurality, a community of destinies and subject to the vagaries of the lives that inhabit it.
The exhibited works are inscribed in this confrontation with the other that is the urban space. Whether it provides the setting or subject of the work, the city is this mass of blurred and elusive contours with which we are confronted, including those that don’t live there. For the contemporary city is overflowing and constantly spreading according to an agglutinative logic. | | |

Torn Awning, Marketplace, Boston, MA, 1960
4.5 x 3 5/16"
unique one-of-a-kind
vintage Polaroid, Type 53 | | | | | | | | ... until 15 January 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Obscura Gallery is honored to debut an exclusive gallery exhibition of vintage, one-of-akind Polaroid prints made during Paul’s tenure with the Polaroid Corporation in the 1960’s.
In 1959, Ansel Adams introduced the Polaroid Corporation to Paul’s work and that following year Paul became a consultant to the company, testing out their Type 55 negative/positive film, and their Type 53 positive film on his 4 x 5 view camera using a Polaroid back. The 44 images in the exhibition were created in New England as well as Ireland and a majority of the prints were created on Polaroid Type 53 which does not produce a negative and creates a one-of-a-kind positive print. The project came to a close in 1969 with a selection of images created in Ireland, when that same year Paul began his Guggenheim fellowship photographing in that country. Other than exhibiting the work at the Polaroid Corporation and a couple of universities or non-profits this is the first extensive gallery exhibition of this unique work.
In 1988 this project was published by the Polaroid Corporation in the book "Seasons", which also included a biographical essay written by the photographer and shares the course of his artistic development during these early years – telling the story of how he began his passion for photography at a very young age, alongside his passion for the piano and classical music.
Paul recalls how he first worked as a photographer during his army service from 1952-55, during which he was stationed at San Francisco’s Presidio in which he met his first mentor, Benjamin Chin who worked the darkroom and ended up introducing Paul to the photographic work of the West Coast luminaries Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Minor White a… | | |

Henri Cartier-Bresson
Playground in Madrid, Spain. 1933.
Gelatin silver print, 1959.
17.2 × 25.1 cm.
Estimate EUR 15,000–20,000 | | | The Art of Photography – A New York Collection | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Grisebach is delighted to offer over 120 lots from a prime photography collection in the United States on December 1st, 2021, as part of its Anniversary Auctions in Berlin. This spectacular trove of works, with a low-end estimate of EUR 1.3 million, includes works of museum-level importance and of breathtaking quality and beauty. That they will be put up for auction with us is a mark of confidence in the German market – and in our expertise.
The auction’s top lot is Helmut Newton‘s legendary diptych "Sie Kommen" (Dressed/Naked). Created in 1981 for French VOGUE, this is one of the iconic images of Newton’s oeuvre: Four women in the studio, striding forward in high heels – and nothing else! The second image shows the women stepping toward us in exactly the same arrangement, but this time, they are dressed. Viewing both images side by side makes us aware that nudity can be more than just erotic allure; it can also be a statement of self-confidence and verve (EUR 150,000/200,000). Another standout is "Dovima with Elephants," created in 1955 by the consummate visualizer of absolute beauty, Richard Avedon: The top model Dovima, resplendent in a black evening gown with sash by Christian Dior, poses between two circus elephants. With an allegorical nod, the figures refer to the fairytale of "Beauty and the Beast." The image often has been described as the most famous fashion photo of the 20th century, testifying as it does to a golden age of glamour (EUR 100,000/150,000).

photo@lempertz.com | | | | | | | | | | | | | A photograph of historical rarity marks the opening of the auction: The untitled portrait of a lady from between 1845 and 1849 is the first daguerreotype by Bertha Wehnert-Beckmann – the earliest female professional photographer in Europe – to be offered at an international auction. Following the early death of her husband Eduard Wehnert, the young daguerreotypist took on the business of their joint studio in Leipzig and brought it to international renown with her artistic portraits. Not only personalities from the aristocracy, military and notable middle classes counted amongst her clients, but the young Johannes Brahms and the 13th President of the USA, Millard Fillmore, also had their portraits taken by her (lot 500, € 3/4,000).
Bauhaus photography receives special attention this season, as it did in the spring auction. Four vintage prints from the estate of Xanti Schawinsky depict members of the Bauhaus band, to which Schawinsky also belonged, socialising and playing music on the roof of the Bauhaus building (lots 508-512, € 2-5,000). In its dynamism and liveliness, the portrait of T. Lux Feininger stands out, exhibiting the typical elements of the 'Neues Sehen': the cut of the motif, the strong view from below, the shadowing of the face from the top hat pulled down over the face, and the blurring of the movement of the hand playing music (lot 511, € 4/5,000).
The vintage prints offered for sale by Albert Renger-Patzsch were taken at various creative periods, the spectrum ranging from the early, fine-toned interior shot of a North German brick church on velvety Kodak Royal paper (lot 515, € 3/4,000), a rare, spirited portrait study of the Expressionist dancer Mary Wigman (lot 517, € 2/3,000), to two new-objective photographs of modern industrial plants in the Ruhr region, the latter from the estate of the architect Fritz Schupp (lots 520/521, € 1,800/2,200 and 2,500/3,000). | | |

| | | | | | | | Ten satellite exhibitions: 4 November - 5 December | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During a month of exhibitions and events located in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, the Biennale de l'Image Tangible presents a selection of works that tend to break free from a classic use of the photographic medium.
Whether it is looking for new supports, hybrid techniques or a new relationship to reality, this event tends to demonstrate that photography never stops inventing. In this, the Tangible Image Biennale supports the emergence of new languages and new practices related to photography : a photograph which upsets the assumptions of reality, a photograph which changes in nature, form and postulate, and which thus participates in a broadening of the field of its discipline.
The second edition of the Tangible Image Biennale focuses its calendar on the month of November 2021. It retains its roots in the 20th arrondissement, following the idea already acclaimed by the public to draw an artistic journey in eastern Paris.
Its program revolves around an exhibition curated by the organizers of the Biennale, and ten exhibitions bringing together the 31 winning artists of the call for projects (February - May 2020), selected by a jury of professionals from the world of art, image and photo. As well as an Instagram prize, an afternoon of meetings and discussions, and an in situ project in the public space.
The 2021 edition of the Biennale is the one which was to be held in 2020 but which has been postponed for health reasons. | | |
