WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL

Posted on 2010-10-25

Often regarded as the founder of ‘street photography’, the American Garry Winogrand took countless photographs of women in New York between 1960 and 1975. A final collection of 85 photos was put together by John Szarkowski, the legendary curator of the Museum of Modern Art, for a work published in 1975 under the title ‘WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL’. For the most part taken on the street, Winogrand’s snapshots document the life of young and emancipated women of the period in a unique way. The photographer has created valuable documents illustrating the changes in women’s understanding of their own role – with self-confident female figures either enjoying themselves at parties or making their voices heard at political demonstrations. As a result of the wide time span, the viewer is able to experience the development of fashion and pop culture over two of the most lively decades of the past century.


Exhibition runs from November 6th to November 27th, 2010

PORTRAITS OF KEITH RICHARDS 1963-1972

Posted on 2010-10-25

As one of the world’s most beloved guitarists, Keith Richards is celebrated as much for his lifestyle as his musical genius. “Before They Make me Run – Portraits of Keith Richards 1963 – 1972,” explores the various sides of this quintessential rock star’s life.
Curated by Raj Prem and produced in association with SFAE, the exhibition features the work of some of the world’s greatest rock photographers. Included are images from iconic sessions such as Philip Townsend’s first ever photographs of the Stones in Chelsea in the early ’60s, Gered Mankowitz’s moody black-and-white portraits, Michael Cooper’s exotic images from Morocco and Joshua Tree, Michael Joseph’s “Beggars Banquet” photos, official Stones photographer Ethan Russell’s poetic images of the group’s infamous 1969 and 1972 US tours, and Dominique Tarle’s photos taken during the recording of “Exile on Main St.” in the South of France. Additional photographers included are Peter Webb and David Montgomery with their memorable “Sticky Fingers” images, legendary producer Eddie Kramer’s intimate recording studio shots with Keith, and Jerrold Schatzberg’s photos of Keith dressed in drag.
