Galerie Daniel Blau exhibits at this year’s TEFAF photographs from the 1850’s and Contemporary Art reflecting on sculpture.
With the public introduction of Photography in 1839 the illustration of works of art became one of the main interests of photographers. Our collection shows in beautiful examples by Le Gray, Baldus, Bisson Frères or Du Camp how they mastered sculpture and created a new art form.
Another highlight is the newly discovered self-portrait of Gustave Le Gray from 1854. Le Gray, one of the greatest photographers revolutionised photography with his technical inventions and created some of the most memorable pictures of the 19th Century.
Only very few portraits of Le Gray are known and this vidid example can be called a sensational discovery.
Our other focus will be contemporary sculpture by such cutting edge artists as Jonathan Meese or Marc Quinn and a collection of works on paper by Baselitz, Kiefer and other German masters.
