BEST OF ENEMIES
2015-07-13In the summer of 1968, television news changed forever. Dead last in the ratings, ABC hired two towering public intellectuals to debate each other during the Democratic and Republican national conventions. William F. Buckley, Jr. was a leading light of the new conservative movement. A Democrat and cousin to Jackie Onassis, Gore Vidal was a leftist novelist and polemicist. Armed with deep-seated distrust and enmity, Vidal and Buckley believed each other’s political ideologies were dangerous for America. Like rounds in a heavyweight battle, they pummeled out policy and personal insult-cementing their opposing political positions. Their explosive exchanges devolved into vitriolic name-calling. It was unlike anything TV had ever broadcast, and all the more shocking because it was live and unscripted. Viewers were riveted. ABC News’ ratings skyrocketed. And a new era in public discourse was born – a highbrow blood sport that marked the dawn of pundit television as we know it today.

JOEL MEYEROWITZ – RETROSPECTIVE
2015-07-13The American Joel Meyerowitz (b. 1938 in New York) made photographic history as one of the central protagonists of New Color Photography in America during the 1960s and 1970s, next to William Eggleston and Stephen Shore. The extensive retrospective presents the photographer and the major, multi-faceted oeuvre he created over the course of 50 years. Meyerowitz’s unprecedented career began after an encounter with the photographer Robert Frank in 1962. Originally trained as a painter, he discovered his passion for photography and quickly advanced to one of the most important protagonists and co-initiators of street photography. His interest in what was happening on the streets of metropolises in America and, from 1966 onwards, in Europe as well, was captured as fleeting moments. His dynamic vision and his style became iconic for his time. He was a pioneer in the use of color film, unusual at the time, while experimenting simultaneously with black and white photography.
As early as 1968, MoMA dedicated an individual show to him. Meyerowitz’s series From a Moving Car (1968) and Cape Light (1978) and his collection of portraits, Red Heads (1980-1990), were internationally acclaimed. Over the course of his career, Meyerowitz’s photographic vision has been transformed from a dynamic, almost driven one to a calm, clear, very precise one. His images of achromatic variations of light on the seashore, light and colour shots of the “blue hour”, pictures of empty swimming pools, photographs of red-haired people as well as his documentations of natural and urban landscapes are considered icons of photography today. The exhibition presents a cross-section of his entire oeuvre, offering representative groups of works from the 1960s to this day.
