| | Helmut Newton, Monica Belluci, Blumarine, Nice 1993
© Helmut Newton Foundation | | | | | | | | 3 December 2022 – 14 May 2023 | | | | Opening: Friday, 2 December, 7pm | | |  | | | | | | | | | | With over 200 photographs, the new exhibition "HELMUT NEWTON. BRANDS" features many unknown motifs from Newton’s collaborations with internationally renowned brands, such as Swarovski, Saint Laurent, Wolford, Blumarine, and Lavazza.
When it came to composition and style, the photographer Helmut Newton did not differentiate between magazine editorials and brand assignments, which were often arranged through advertising agencies. Self-ironically, he called himself "A Gun for Hire" – also the title of the posthumous exhibition of his commercial photography that was on display in 2005, first at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco and then at his foundation in Berlin.
This new exhibition picks up where A Gun for Hire left off, showcasing photographs Newton shot mainly in the 1980s and ‘90s for high-paying ad agencies and corporate clients, mostly in and around Monaco. In the front three exhibition rooms, we encounter fashion images for the luxury sector, for example, Newton’s interpretations of Yves Saint Laurent fashion, haute couture, and prêt-à-porter. His photographic stagings are as diverse and individual from season to season as the women’s fashion he depicted. They sometimes transcend reality, transporting us to distant emotional and exotic spheres. | | |

© [s.n.], Fonds HISABC Vues aériennes (collection du CNA) | | | | | | | | ... until 1 January 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | As part of the "our archive - your story" project and on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the exhibition space Waassertuerm + Pomhouse, the CNA presents "Stëmme vun der Schmelz" in homage to the former industrial site and its workers.
140 years after the foundation of the first fully integrated steelworks (including blast furnaces, steel- and rolling mill) in the country, the time seems right to look back on this pivotal era in the Grand Duchy’s history; to let the memories of this period live again through the words of the people who witnessed it, to archive and retell these stories.
In this exhibition, you will get to know 19 witnesses who were kind enough to share their experiences of everyday life in and around the steelworks with us – reminiscences of a time when Dudelange was hailed as the ‘Forge du Sud’. | | |

| | | Katja Stuke, Osaka, 2006 | | | Photographic Concepts and Treasures | | | | Works from the Collection Part 2 – Urban Life, Architecture, Industry | | | | | | | ... until 22 January 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the interlocking themes of "Urban life, architecture, industry", Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur is once again presenting a selection from its own holdings with historical and contemporary series of works in its anniversary year. The exhibits in this exhibition were collected over a period of about 30 years, some of them have already been shown in presentations, others are being presented for the first time. In total there are over 300 exhibits by 21 photographers from Germany, Italy, the USA and Japan, who have realized their works in various cultural contexts.
But as different as the concepts of the image authors are, they are united by the motivation to capture the environment they experience in visual documents and to convey it in the most differentiated and authentic way possible. What captivates them is the visual exploration of the world, as well as the possibilities of an aptly designed photographic realization with a far-reaching withdrawal of their own influence. Buildings, products, constructions, specific inventions, production processes, equipment, as well as interventions in the landscape are brought before the eye and transformed into revealing views and series of works. Measures to secure livelihoods and to meet needs, aesthetic ideas and cultural identities emerge. The focus is on evolved structures, moments that have been overlooked or those owed to chance. They are examined concisely, humorously and critically. Direct images of people tend to recede into the background, no matter how much their everyday life and work is often the origin of what is reflected in the photographs shown and becomes the motif of the picture. What becomes clear is that urban life moves within the framework of a wealth of architectura… | | |

| | Josef Koudelka, "CZECHOSLOVAKIA, Prague, August 1968, Warsaw Pact troops invasion"
© Josef Koudelka/Magnum Photos, Courtesy of the Josef Koudelka Foundation | | | | | | | | ... until 29 January 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | As a first survey exhibition in Switzerland since 1977 devoted exclusively to the work of Josef Koudelka, the exhibition and accompanying book offer new insights into his career. In particular a part of his personal archive, namely the 30,000 35-mm contact sheets from 1960-2012, has been researched and presented.
Ikonar is the nickname Josef Koudelka received from a group of Roma he met on his travels. They called him an "icon maker" because they used his famous photographs of Roma communities as quasi-religious icons in their place of worship. Although he is an internationally recognised “image maker", Koudelka considers himself more a “collector of his own images" than a photographer.
Aiming to capture the essence of the artist’s worldview, this exhibition is built around key works from his most important series on 35mm film, including Theatre, Gypsies, Invasion 68 and Exiles. However, the exhibition includes not only an installation entirely dedicated to his archives, which seeks to analyse their place in the personal and artistic career of one of the major players in 20th century photography, but also a reference library with a wide selection of his books. | | |

| | | | | | | | ... until 18 February 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Galerie Miranda is delighted to present, for the first time in France, the beautiful and fascinating series Undergarments & Armor by NYC-based artist Tanya Marcuse, made in 2002-3 with the support of a Guggenheim Fellowship.
The artist anchors the project in typological foundations, formally expressed with highly precise yet sensual black & white pigment prints. The complete series of Undergarments & Armor was first exhibited in Northern Ireland at Belfast Exposed gallery. The series has also featured at the triennial of photography and video called Dress Codes at the International Center for Photography (New York) and in Love and War at the Museum of the Fashion Institute of Technology (New York). A lavish 3-volume slipcased monograph of the series was published by Nazraeli Press in 2005 with an essay by Valerie Steele, chief curator and acting director of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
Tanya Marcuse (b.1964) began making photographs as an early college student at Bard College at Simon’s Rock. She went on to study Art History and Studio Art at Oberlin and earned her MFA from Yale. Her photographs are in many collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the George Eastman Museum. In 2002, she received a Guggenheim fellowship to pursue her project Undergarments & Armor. In 2005, she embarked on a three part, fourteen year project, Fruitless | Fallen | Woven. Fueled by the Biblical narrative of the fall from Eden, these related projects use increasingly fantastical imagery and more elaborate methods of construction to explore cycles of growth and decay and the dynamic tension between the passage of time and the photographic medium. Tanya’s books include Undergarments and Armor (Nazraeli Press, 2005), Wax Bodies, (Nazraeli Press, 2012), Fruitless | Fallen | Woven (Radius Press, 2019) and INK (Fall Line Press, 2021). She teaches Photography at Bard College, NY.

| | Helmut Newton
Tied-up Torso, Ramatuelle, 1980
© Helmut Newton Foundation | | | | | | | | ... until 15 January 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the retrospective Helmut Newton Legacy, the Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien will be celebrating the Berlin photographer’s hundredth birthday (1920–2004) – delayed because of corona, but all the more comprehensive, with 300 or more works that document Newton’s complete oeuvre.
Newton, a controversial figure who has never ceased to fascinate and provoke, is primarily renowned for his photos of women: powerful, aggressive, self-assertive – naked and dressed – they challenge the viewer. His photos have been published countless times, circulated through magazines – their iconic character has impressed itself on our collective visual memory.
In actual fact, Newton’s career developed first and foremost through his fashion photography – which is the focus of this exhibition. In 1938, being Jewish, he fled from the Nazis to Australia, where he began to photograph fashion. Newton blazed the trail to his inimitable style in 1960s Paris by staging his models in shrill theatrical settings, out of the luxury- and eccentricity-governed haute couture scene conjuring up a situation of uncanniness and ambivalence.
Newton first started photographing nudes in the 1980s. With his sharply delineated, over-lifesize models in their almost belligerent nakedness, its sexuality self-confident and energy-charged in impact, Newton probed social and moral limits, and today still – or, most of all, once more – challenges us to formulate anew the issues that preoccupy us.
The exhibition presents Newton with iconic photos, also with works that have never been on show before. Therefore, they spotlight lesser-known aspects from Newton’s world and direct our view onto a complete oeuvre that ho… | | |

| | Peter Knapp, For Dim, Paris, ca. 1968
© Peter Knapp / Fotostiftung Schweiz | | | | | | | | ... until 12 February 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Peter Knapp’s ideas on layout and typography, along with his dynamic photographs, made the magazine Elle a leading medium in the fashion industry from the 1960s onwards. Fotostiftung Schweiz presents a selection from around 700 donated photographs by Peter Knapp. While paying tribute to this outstanding Swiss designer’s oeuvre, the exhibition brings to life the mood of an epoch and the societal transformation that took place within it.
"What drives me is the act of translating ideas into images. I want to visualise my thoughts, to express my fantasies and stories pictorially. Je ne prends pas de photos, je les fais."
With this credo, Peter Knapp, born in 1931 in Bäretswil, Zürcher Oberland, became an influential figure in the international fashion world during the 1960s and ’70s. After studying at the Zurich School of Applied Arts, he had great success, especially as art director at Paris-based magazine Elle. In a time of social upheaval, which was reflected to no small extent in fashion, he found the right images for the liberation of the body and mind.
Elle, a leading medium of emancipation under editor-in-chief Hélène Lazareff, contributed significantly to a buoyant democratisation of women’s clothing: prêt-à-porter instead of haute-couture, minijupe instead of corset, functionality instead of stiff ele… | | |

Collection Förderverein Fotostiftung Schweiz | | | | | | | Works from the Friends of Fotostiftung Schweiz collection | | | | | | | | ... until 11 December 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fotostiftung Schweiz is expanding: From mid-September 2022, it will be operating on additional premises at Grüzenstrasse 45 in Winterthur. Treasures from the collection and archives will be presented in a new exhibition room. Right next door, in the adjacent archive room, the infrastructure for processing photo archives has been enlarged and modernised. Since 1971, Fotostiftung Schweiz has been devoted to preserving, researching and conveying photographic works. On behalf of the Federal Office of Culture, it looks after around 100 prominent photographers’ archives or partial archives and a comprehensive collection of Swiss photography. On its new converted premises, covering an area of 250 m², visitors will for the first time be able to take a look behind the scenes of Fotostiftung Schweiz and thus have increased access to its wide-ranging activities.
Déjà vu? Part 1
The first two exhibitions in room 2 are dedicated to the high-calibre collection that the association Friends of Fotostiftung Schweiz has amassed since it was founded in 1982. Today, this collection comprises over 2000 photographs and has two focal points: outstanding works from the history of international photography and important positions in recent Swiss photography. To mark the association’s 40th anniversary, these two focal points are to be presented one after the other. Under the title Déjà-vu? Part 1, the aim is, on one hand, to take a fresh contemporary look at masterpieces from the history of photography, by photographers such as Man Ray, Julian Margaret Cameron, Alexander Rodchenko and Berenice Abbott; on the other hand, the story of how this collection came about, the value attached to it and the gaps within it are to be addressed and thematised.

| | Jean Painlevé: Hippocampe dans les algues [Seahorse in Seaweed], ca. 1934
© Les Documents Cinématographiques / Archives Jean Painlevé, Paris | | | | | | | | ... until 12 February 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | French film director Jean Painlevé (1902–1989) had a passion for scientific cinema. He was interested in engaging a broad audience in the discovery of natural science through film and devoted most of his life to documenting fauna – especially species from the underwater world. Over a period of more than 50 years, Painlevé shot over 200 short films, marked by his characteristic approach, which he developed through meticulous observation, technical mastery and experimentation. The works in the exhibition – a selection of numerous black-and-white and colour films, photographs and documents – reflect not only his engagement with science but also his desire to share the mysteries of living matter and creatures that inhabit Earth.
Painlevé used film to explore living organisms using certain techniques to reveal characteristics of their life cycles and their anatomy. He made precise observations of his subjects and recorded their movements and processes of development. Painlevé began by concentrating on marine life: crabs, shrimps, octopuses and sea urchins. These creatures inhabit the coast, especially the foreshore – the border zone between land and sea that is washed by the tides.
Painlevé’s films include shots that show the animals filmed full-size but also at microscopic scales. These graphic images, the careful editing and his use of both slow motion and time lapse offer us an unusual journey into the curious world of underwater creatures, their bodies and their habitats.
"It is obvious, that movement, which is specific to cinema, adds a grace or astonishing power to forms. Simple or complicated, the lines and rhythms are recorded like a form of the eternal. It is … | | |

The season highlight of this auction is an unusually large and high-quality print of an icon of the history of photography: "Das Bäumchen" by Albert Renger-Patzsch. The photographer’s favourite motif was already successfully auctioned by Lempertz in 2015. The photograph offered for sale here - in a format that has hitherto not yet emerged in an auction - was printed by the photographer himself on Kodak Royal paper in the dark room of the Folkwang School and subsequently mounted and framed by Renger Patzsch as a gift for an important client (lot 528, € 50/70,000). Vintage prints by Karl Blossfeldt, whose photographic oeuvre was first discovered in the 1920s, are also rarities on the photo market. They served their creator as illustrative material for tuition in the subject of "modelling from living plants" at the Unterrichtsanstalt des Königlichen Kunstgewerbemuseums (School of the Royal Museum of Applied Arts). Lempertz is offering two of these early prints this season (lots 512/513, €9-12,000 and € 25-30,000).
Heinrich Kühn’s large platinum gum print from 1910 is in excellent condition and depicts the photographer’s sons during a portrait sitting (lot 511, € 5/6,000).
This time many outstanding works which enrichen the selection of classical photographs of the mid-20th century derive from American collections: From Eugène Atget's view of a narrow alley in Paris (lot 506, € 3/4,000), to Herbert List’s shot of happy young men swinging on ship’s ropes (lot 558, € 2/2,500), Henri Cartier-Bresson’s cowboys enjoying the evening at the amusemant park (lot 576, € 3,500), Elliott Erwitt’s touching portrait study of his first wife with their new-born daughter on a bed from 1953 (lot 581, € 2,5/3,500), and Nick Brandt’s picture of a group of giraffes in the Kenyan evening sun (lot 652, € 5/6,000).
Two further highlights of the auction are within the context of American Fashion Photography: "Schiaparelli Jacket with Tinsel and Glass", a mysterious costume study from the year 1974 by Irving Penn (lot 647, € 14-16,000), and the famous shot "Round the Clock I, New York" by the German-American fashion photographer Horst P. Horst (lot 617, € 10-15,000). Latter is from an American private property.
Amongst the rich offer of contemporary photography are three portraits by Anton Corbijn (lots 651-643, € 3/4,000 to 5/6,000), a group of six staged, partly hand coloured works by Jan Saudek (Lot 632-637, € 800/1,000 to € 1,200/1,500), and – a premier on the German auction market – the large-format meditative photograph of a fairy tale pine forest by the South Korean photographer Bae Bien-U from his famous "Sonamu" series (lot 653, € 13/15,000).
