JOEL MEYEROWITZ – TEMPORAL ASPECTS
2025-08-04Now, nearly six decades later, Meyerowitz’s work continues to resonate through its exploration of what Cartier-Bresson referred to as “the decisive moment.” This exhibition offers a chronological and thematic exploration of Meyerowitz’s oeuvre, allowing viewers to experience how his visual language has evolved over time, reflecting the fluidity of the present moment. This evolution builds on Szarkowski’s insight that a photograph captures only the time in which it was taken, referencing the past and future through its presence in the present.
Additionally, the exhibition includes a selection of ‘work prints’ that highlight the temporal nature of photographic prints themselves. These prints reveal the impermanence of the medium, showcasing how some colors fade over time while others endure. The inclusion of prints bearing Meyerowitz’s personal annotations, along with multiple iterations of the same image, provides an intimate glimpse into the artist’s studio process, allowing viewers to trace his journey toward perfecting each image.
Exhibition runs through to August 17th, 2025
