IRVING PENN

Posted on 2024-04-22

Irving Penn is widely recognized as one of the 20th century’s greatest photographers. Vogue’s longest-standing contributor, Penn revolutionized fashion photography in the postwar era. Using neutral backgrounds, he emphasized models’ personalities through their gestures and expressions. The exhibition includes approximately 175 photographs, spanning every period of Penn’s nearly 70-year career. The works range from early documentary scenes, celebrity portraits, and workers with the tools of their trades to abstract nudes and fashion studies. A special section of images from San Francisco’s Summer of Love features hippies, members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, and local rock bands the Grateful Dead and Big Brother and the Holding Company.

RAO FU – COLORS OF THE SOUL

Posted on 2024-04-22

Rao Fu’s paintings resemble a restless sea of color. On each canvas, a new, free monologue begins, driven by the flow of paint. Embedded within the color are deeply resonant references to tradition, evidencing the engagement of this Chinese-born artist, trained in classical Chinese landscape painting and calligraphy, with the art history of Dresden and Europe of the last four hundred years. Indeed, there is hardly a painter in East Germany who has studied German and European painting with such earnestness, marvelling at its diversity, boldness and beauty, appreciating it and appropriating it in his very own way.

Opposite – Barock Fantasy, 2024

Exhibition runs through to August 31st, 2024
