| | | | | | | | | | June 2 – July 21, 2018 | | | | Opening Friday June 1st, 2018 from 5 - 7 pm | | |  | | | | | | | | | | This Summer The Ravestijn Gallery presents Scheltens & Abbenes’ bright and colourful series "The Workers". The Dutch artist duo, consisting of photographer Maurice Scheltens (1972) and visual artist Liesbeth Abbenes (1970), show their distinctive still lives: abstract yet compelling, and with a meticulous eye for detail. The works are a mix of studio photographs and images from the series "Trailer", consisting of flowers painted on vans from floral transportation docks, which premiered at Unseen in 2016. From afar the advertisements look like appealing flowers, but up close the artificiality almost dissolutes the flowers - within the context of the artists’ newest show the images are now instilled with a new layer of meaning. "The Workers" consists not only of these almost still lives of painted flowers - printed large scale as to make the texture and every trace of use on the vans discernible - but also shows very mundane objects: different tools for gardening, beehives in various colours, a garbage can with layers of chemical paint spilled over its edges. On the photographs, however, the objects are transformed into highly stylised and aesthetic compositions, drawing attention to the colours and shapes, up to the point the viewer would almost forget their original context, as the play of textures and layers is endlessly fascinating. What is not shown in these images are the humans hands that use the tools for gardening, to grow and cut the flowers the vans transport, that built and painted the beehives and tended to the bees. The images the viewers are left with are third hand, so to say. There are no flowers, nor bees, only man-made objects, all painted over, then taken up by the artists to be extracte… | | |

A report to Skeptics, Suzy Parker, for Harper ́s Bazaar,
New York, 1952 © The Estate of Lillian Bassman / Courtesy Staley-Wise Gallery, New York | | | | | | | Photographs from the Collection of Carla Sozzani | | | | | | | | 2 June – 18 November 2018 | | | | Opening: Friday, 1 June, 8 pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | Carla Sozzani, former editor-in-chief of the Italian Elle and Vogue magazines, has collected photographs for many years. Since 1990, she has also exhibited these works at her gallery in Milan, in close cooperation with numerous internationally renowned photographers – including Helmut Newton four times: "Ritratti di donna" (1993), "Impressions, Polaroids" (1996), "Us and Them" (1999) together with his wife June, a.k.a. Alice Springs, and “Yellow Press” (2003). The close friendship between Carla Sozzani and Helmut Newton now leads to the show of Sozzani’s multifaceted collection at the Helmut Newton Foundation, titled Between Art & Fashion. Since Galleria Carla Sozzani first opened 28 years ago, it has hosted hundreds of photography exhibitions, featuring the likes of Annie Leibovitz, Sarah Moon, Paolo Roversi, David Bailey, Hiro, and David LaChapelle. Architecture and design exhibitions are held twice a year, and have included the works of Carlo Mollino, Verner Panton, and Yayoi Kusama. The gallery has also showcased fashion by Pierre Cardin, André Courrèges, and Paco Rabanne. Some of those works subsequently became part of Sozzani’s own collection, which today comprises nearly 1,000 photographs. In addition to fashion there are experimental photographs by Berenice Abbott and Duane Michals, nudes by Francesca Woodman and Daido Moriyama, and still lifes by Man Ray and William Klein. The diverse collection was created over the course of many years, and with its focus on classic black-and-white photography offers a look back into a bygone era. The gallery continues to be a central part of the first concept store founded by Carla Sozzani in 1991 in the heart of Milan – 10 Corso … | | |

© Alice Springs | | | | | | | | 2 June – 18 November 2018 | | | | Opening: Friday, 1 June, 8 pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | In June’s Room, on the occasion of the 95th birthday of June Newton, who worked under the name Alice Springs, are around 30 portraits, some previously unseen, from the foundation’s collection. In the context of the Sozzani collection, they are mainly of artists, photographers, and fashion designers. Alice Springs started working in the 1970s on her own photographic oeuvre, which has also often been featured at the Helmut Newton Foundation. The artists, actors, and musicians she portrayed reads like a who’s who of the international cultural scene from the past 40 years on both sides of the Atlantic – from Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld to Billy Wilder and Diana Vreeland, and even the Hells Angels. Although many of her subjects are from the jet set, their social status was not a priority for her. Her photographs range from commissions for magazines between Paris and Los Angeles to independent projects. Her keen ability to both reveal and penetrate a person’s façade might be traced back to her solid foundation in acting. She often closed in on people’s faces, framing them in a tight bust or waist shot. There are only a few studio portraits; most of them use natural light, taken in public spaces or at the protagonist’s home. | | |

3 Jubilee Place • London • SW3 3TD Paul Smith 2 June - 28 July
9 Albemarle Street • London • W1S 4HH | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two exhibitions curated by Paul Smith highlighting a lesser known facet of Lartigue’s magical eye: the 50s, 60s and 70s. "In 1998, I asked Paul Smith, to write a small introduction to our very first exhibition of Jacques Henri Lartigue. He very kindly agreed. It was a seminal moment for the gallery as we were showing my favorite 20th century artist and his work was affirmed by a man who I had such huge respect for and whose style was only matched by Jacques' own. It was a perfect pairing and one that I often go back to, as it set the bar for us. To find two people who exemplify great style, wit and generosity in one show cannot often be repeated. Twenty years later, I decided to approach Paul again, this time with the idea that he would look at and curate an area of Lartigue's archive that has rarely been examined - the 50's, 60's and early 1970's, and was delighted when he accepted. The Jacques Henri Lartigue Archives are still maintained carefully by the Ministère de la Culture in France and it was there that Paul and I sat down and discovered, to our delight, that Lartigue's ability at revealing the joy and essence of the people he had photographed was still very much intact during the later part of his life, and that the images had been virtually unseen by his fans world-wide. This exhibition will certainly ignite new interest in this latter part of his career. Lartigue brings so much pleasure to all who encounter his sublime pictures of the Belle Époque. Who does not fall in love with the timeless elegance of René Perle? Who can fail to be seduced by the parade of beautiful cars and wonderful scenery that was the backdrop to his privileged early life. And who can also deny his wonderful observation of the gorgeous people he photographed in New York in the 1970's when he was working with the likes of Ruth Ansell at Harper's bazaar, who said: ... or simply documenting the decadent chic of St. Tropez in the 1960's, or the upheaval of old London when Carnaby Street and the Kings Road changed and ruled the world of fashion and culture. "Jacques Henri Lartigue captured it all, and Paul Smith has selected a unique and never before seen group of his photographs that will entertain and delight those who encounter them."
- Michael Hoppen “My father was an amateur photographer and his way was always the ‘caught moment’. I’ve always admired Henri Lartigue as the master of the caught moment, so many of his best photos are about a spontaneous moment. And of course, his work is all on film so he’d never know until he was back in the dark-room what would appear! It was an honour and a privilege when Michael invited me to look through Lartigue’s huge archive, go through all the thousands of photographs and scrap-books and narrow the selection down to these few. The exhibitions could’ve been twenty times the size they are.”

For the exhibition, curator Natalia Grigorieva (Founder and Chief Curator of Lumiere Brothers Center) has handpicked six exceptional finalists from the past two years, including Andrea Grützner (1984, Germany), Alexandra Lethbridge (1987, United Kingdom), Thomas Albdorf (1982, Austria), Miren Pastor (1985, Spain), Tereza Zelenkova (1985, Czech Republic) and Felicity Hammond (1988, United Kingdom). All the talents have followed an extensive talent programme, guided by internationally established artists, whilst creating new work for the ING Collection in response to a chosen theme: Common Ground (2017), encouraging the discovery of similarities among differences, and Fool for Love (2016), exploring the passion and devotion required to pursue one's dreams. Initiated by ING and Unseen, the ING Unseen Talent Award is an exciting initiative focused on fostering new photographic talent. The Award provides an international platform for emerging European artists to present their work on a global scale. | | |

That’s why I love illustrated encyclopaedias so much. I leaf through the pages often getting a sense of satisfaction, because I see photos of people there I haven’t yet become. It relaxes me, a delicious feeling and I say to myself .”
- Henri Michaux
Batia Suter writes in images. She collects and hoards them relentlessly and has done so for the last 30 years. All types of images capture her imagination, in particular printed images. She favours random methods of research and her sources are as many and various as the types of publications she dips into: all kinds of photo albums, atlases, scientific journals, catalogues, art books, history books, animal magazines and many more besides...
Once the images have been patiently collected and organised, Batia Suter starts her game of montage and assembly. It really is a game, a game of chance arranging and rearranging the pictures until the image organically reveals itself. Printed imagery functions like Duchamp’s reday-mades, created from materials that are out of context and not in use and which from now on need to be taken up for her subject alone. The succession of ricochets gives rise to an astonishing alchemy, an autonomous poetic form, an alternative to our historical knowledge which transports us somewhere else. | | |

© Masahisa Fukase, Courtesy Michael Hoppen Gallery London | | | | | | | Japanese Photography 1960―1970 from the Collection | | | | | | | until 8 July 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Diverse and controversial, sometimes mysterious and often at odds with stereotypical ideas about Japan: there is much to discover in Japanese photography from the 1960s and 1970s. The Museum der Moderne Salzburg now presents its extensive and singular collection in a two-part exhibition series.
For the first time in many years, the Museum der Moderne Salzburg puts its collection of ca. 600 original prints of Japanese photography from the 1960s and 1970s, which was purchased in the museum’s early years, on display. The series of two shows begins with "I-Photo. Japanese Photography 1960–1970" from the Collection, which presents works that focus on the depiction of the human being and the changes in postwar Japanese society. "In this exhibition, my vigorous efforts to undertake a thorough review of our collections are bearing fruit, and so I am especially pleased that we are able to present our holdings of Japanese photography—a sizable ensemble of outstanding works—which have not been seen by the public in a long time. The show also spotlights a chapter in the history of the museum, which started collecting and conserving photography early on. Otto Breicha, the museum’s first director, personally traveled to Japan to meet many of the artists and select works for the projected exhibition," Sabine Breitwieser, Director of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, observes. Curator of Photography and Media Art Christiane Kuhlmann emphasizes that "this effort to champion Japanese culture and acquire Japanese art for the nascent collection constitutes a pioneering achievement." "At the time, the primary media in which Japanese photographers presented their pictures were photobooks and magazines," Kuhlmann… | | |

Frogs and Plates No.8, 2016
© Juergen Teller | | | | | | | | 2 June – 7 October 2018 | | | | Opening reception: Friday 1 Jun 18:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Juergen Teller navigates the boundary of art and commercial photography, putting the portrait at the heart of things. Whether in the realms of music, fashion, everyday life or landscape, his distinctive feel for individuals and situations allows him to create visual compositions with an immediacy that is sometimes deceptively simple. On closer inspection, his seemingly laid-back and casual imagery proves to be artistically crafted and full of verve. Deliberately breaking with convention to challenge our ways of seeing and undermine our preconceptions, Juergen Teller does not indulge in sentimentalised visual strategies. Through the intimacy of his portraiture, he orchestrates some quite extraordinary photographic encounters. | | |

© Jojakim Cortis & Adrian Sonderegger | | | | | | | | 2 June – 9 September 2018 | | | | Opening: Friday, 1 June, 6pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | For five years, the Zurich-based artist duo Jojakim Cortis & Adrian Sonderegger worked on a project that not only captivates with its concept, but also through its intricacy and aesthetic power. «Double Take» plays seductively with iconic images from international photographic history: Pictures imprinted in the collective memory are reproduced as three-dimensional models – a meticulous bricolage of cardboard, sand, wood, fabric, cotton wool and plaster – and photographed so that they in turn represent images that are astonishingly close to the original scene. But the illusion is humorously broken by the inclusion of elements of the studio environment, along with all kind of remnants from reconstructing the scenes. This portrayal of a portrayal of a portrayal of reality becomes a dizzying metaphysical experience: What is real? And can we trust our perception? «Double Take» is much more than a dry epistemological exercise. It is instead a highly attractive, ingenious and tongue-in-cheek speculating, with which the artists awaken our curiosity. Their precise, detail-rich large format photography represents an intricate game of discovery and bewilderment, in which you can lose yourself in the details of the original photograph while at the same time wanting to decode the secret of the «Making of...» with a level of inquisitiveness worthy of a detective. The seemingly randomly neglected equipment and materials convey the impression that the model makers have only just applied their final brushstroke. Their provisional, temporary installation brings the immortalised moment into question, and the timeless myth is broken down to the banal everyday level. On the one hand, Jojakim Cortis & Adrian Sonderegg… | | |

| | | | | | The auction starts off with a selection of 26 outstanding albumin prints by Wilhelm von Gloeden, Guglielmo Plüschow and Vincenzo Galdi from the Heinz-Peter Barandun collection: The open air portraits and nude studies of young men taken around 1900 originate directly from von Gloedens estate and pertain to one of the largest and most significant private collections of works by the photographer and his circle, which was extensively honoured in a large-scale museum exhibition in 2008 (lot 1-18, €1,000-2,200). Three equally renowned and well-preserved views of Paris by Jean Eugène Auguste Atget pertain to the highlights from the area of classic photography of the early 20th century (lots 21-23, €4/5,000). Two further highlights of this auction also originated in Paris: The Eiffel tower, photographed by Germaine Krull in 1928 in a spectacular low angle shot, presented here as a print from the 1950s with comprehensive exhibition provenance (lot 71, 4/5000), also a series of three shots of the stage designs for the play “L'Éphémère est éternel” (Michel Seuphor), no longer existent as originals, designed by Piet Mondrian and documented by André Kertész in the studio of his artist friend in Paris in 1926. A hitherto unknown personal pen and ink drawing by Mondrian on the verso of one of the prints (lot 79, €12/15,000) provides the Mondrian research with new insights into the colouring of the work. The rare view of the “Theater in Verona” is by Albert Renger-Patzsch and demonstrates the photographer’s clear style of New Objectivity to perfection. The cubature of the ancient building can be vividly experienced through the strong contrasts between light and dark (lot 37, €3/4,000). The striking portrait of the painter Otto Dix appears almost three-dimensional. It was taken by Hugo Erfurth who repeatedly portrayed Dix and his family photographically over a long period of time (lot 48, €8/10,000). A further portrait is counted among the first class pieces from the field of post-war photography: The almost bizarre portrait “Coco” by Robert Doisneau, taken in 1952, here as a rare vintage print from the Robert Giraud collection, a close friend and companion of the photographer (lot 107, €5,500/6,500). The famous photo of “Fifth Avenue Houses #4, 6, 8” from the series “Changing New York” by Berenice Abbott, which documented the rapid transformation of the metropolis in the 1930s as part of a state-sponsored programme, is presented here as an early and equally rare print in subtle shades (lot 84, €10/15,000). Lee Friedlander’s “Texas”, the shot of the 'Lone Star’ café with pick-up trucks, and the “Swedish Lutheran Church” in Clarkville, Colorado by Robert Adams convey the American attitude to life of the 1960s (lot 123, €5/7,000 und lot 124, €6/8,000). These are only two works of an entire group of American photographs from a south German private collection on offer at this auction, among them works that are only rarely offered on the German auction market. Luigi Ghirri's “Ile Rousse” will be called here in a rare vintage cibachrome print. The shot is from his famous series “Kodachrome”, published in 1978 under the same title in book form, which gained the photographer international recognition (lot 157, €3/4,000). All in all, four photographs originate from Peter Beard, including the important motif “Maureen Gallagher and a Late Night Feeder at Hog Ranch” dated 1987 (lot 164, €10/12,000) and a work from the series “Diary Pages”, a c-chromogenic print reworked with white ink, in which Beard refers to the genocide in Rwanda (lot 165, €15/20,000). | | |

| | | | | | A group of contemporary photographic works will be called in the context of the “Contemporary Art” auction, among which are several highlights such as the large-scale pigment print by Gregory Crewdson “Untitled (Secret Liaison, from the series: Beneath the Roses)”. It is the mystery of the staging, reminiscent of a film scene, that makes this shot by the American so striking (lot 646, €30/40,000). The photograph from 2010 of the “Kunstmuseum Stuttgart” was taken by the Korean photographer Kim In Sook who is known for her series “Inside out” with meticulously arranged views of modern house facades and personnel behind the scenes (lot 652, €30/40,000).
Further works are bound to awaken the collector’s interest, among them Wolfgang Tillman’s famous still-life “Window/Caravaggio” (lot 873, €6/8,000) and “Bibliothek Madrid IV” by Candida Höfer (lot 729, €6/8,000). | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | Awards |
| | | | | | | |  | | | | | Marl Media Art Awards 2018 | Space | | | Submission deadline: 15 June, 2018
www.mkp-marl.de/entry | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dealing with Space in Video and Sound
Historically and spatially, the Marl Media Art Awards refer to the orientation as a sculpture museum and to the modernist architecture of the Marl Town Hall completed in 1966. Because spatial reference is the key criteria for sculpture, for the fourth time the competition invites media artists who deal with all facets of space in their works to participate.
Since 1984, the Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl has hosted the Video Art Award, and since 2002 the Sound Art Award, which has been further developed into the EUROPEAN SOUNDART AWARD. The two media, which define themselves principally through video and sound, have much in common: not only are they both time-related, but in many video works the acoustic level is very important, while more and more sound works include moving images. Therefor the Marl Media Art Awards will present the results of both competitions in one exhibition at the Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl.
Marl Video Art Award 2018
The works submitted for the Marl Video Art Award 2018 must relate—thematically, formally or in its presentation—to the specific space. The spatial reference here also means avoiding linear narrative structures while featuring a different, non-linear temporal structure, such as a loop, which is ideal for presentation in a museum. Classic, single-channel videos, shown on a monitor or projected on a screen, remain acceptable. 5 works will be selected for the exhibition and will compete for the Marl Video Art Award 2018, with 5,000 euros in prize money. The prize money will be aimed at acquisition of the awarded piece for the permanent collection of the Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl. | | |
