Leading the sale is Irving Penn’s 1970 “3 New Guinea Men, (2 with Pipes),” a group portrait shot during a traditional dance festival, in a platinum palladium print of 1983.

MOIS DE LA PHOTO 2012
Encore inconnue du grand public, Ilse Bing (1899-1998) a été l’une des rares grandes photographes de la première moitié du xxe siècle et fut l’une des premières femmes photojournalistes. Elle appartient au cercle des photographes qui ont marqués leur époque en apportant un regard novateur sur la photo. Consacrée en son temps la « Reine du Leica » par le critique et photographe Emmanuel Sougez, elle est célébrée pour son rôle dans l ́introduction du petit appareil 35 mm auprès de l’école parisienne de photographie des années 1930.
L’élément clé de cette école était le « hasard » et une approche de vagabond. Marchant dans les rues, le photographe ne se serait pas mis en route avec un sujet prédéterm...
Let’s recollect some of the most memorable lip-locks of all time.

Is it the kiss from a handsome prince that would bring Sleeping Beauty back to life? Or the kiss of Judas? Or a so called “Eskimo kiss” with a tip of the nose? Perhaps, a fraternal embrace of comrade Brezhnev? Or all covered with gold The kiss by Gustav Klimt? Perhaps, you may recall a movie kiss? Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh’s in Gone With the Wind or the passionate and tragic embrace outside the trenches in Mikhail Kalatozov’s The Cranes Are Flying? What melodies come to your mind? “Besa me mucho” by Consuelo Velasquez or “Every step you take…” by The Police? A kiss is the most natural way of expressing sentiments of love and tenderness.

Galerie Edwynn Houk is pleased to present a selection of rare vintage prints by the photographer Ilse Bing (U.S., born Germany, 1899-1998). The exhibition ‘Ilse Bing: An Avant-Garde Vision’, which opens in the Zurich gallery on September the 9th, 2015, features some of her most iconic works from a renowned ten year period in Paris. Other important images from her beginnings in Frankfurt and her travels to Switzerland and Holland are also on display. The selected works illustrate her photographic range and central topics: the modern city life, the cultural milieu of Paris, the still life, dance and the self-portrait.
Ilse Bing was born into a middle-class Jewish family in the city of Frankfurt. As a child, her education was rich in music and art and in the 1920s she started a degree in mathematics and physi...
Edwynn Houk Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of rare and important photographs by European and American artists between the World Wars.
The photographs in this exhibition by Man Ray, Alfred Stieglitz, Alexander Rodchenko, Edward Weston, and 25 other artists, represent the technological, architectural, and psychological revolutions of the modern age. Now considered icons of their era, these works revealed a drastically new vision, with profound and lasting influence.

Artists were quick to respond to the effect of rising skyscrapers, faster cars and mechanized communications with a new freedom of experimentation. Modernist photographers used radically unconventional viewpoints to express the explosion of growth and energy of cities. They also employed many techn...
"Je pose en principe un fait peu contestable : que l'homme est l'animal qui n'accepte pas simplement le donné naturel, qui le nie. Il change ainsi le monde extérieur naturel, il en tire des outils et des objets fabriqués qui composent un monde nouveau, le monde humain." Georges Bataille, "L’Erotisme",1957.

The 40 works range from early black and white photographs to the classic icons of American color photography.
A number of great photographers played a large role in forming and defining the American Myth. The discovery of everyday aspects of American life was decisive in this: cities and symbols, cars, signs, billboards, advertising, telephone poles, parking lots and barbershops.
People are a second aspect of the wide-ranging exhibition, from the years of the Great Depression to impressive portraits of celebrities.
The comparison of almost a century of American photographs results in an interesting structure of similarities and contrasts, which are balanced through the selective choice of images.
The exhibition begins with works of the early 20th century by Paul Strand and Berenice Abbott, who both show ...

The main themes of the approximately 30 different photographers are; technology and science, "unusual points of view", advertising and portrait photography. The exhibition will include important representatives of the "Neues Sehen" and "Neue Sachlichkeit", as well as artists influenced by Surrealism.
In spite of the impressive similarities that become apparent when images by different photographers are juxtaposed, revealing time and again a common interest in the selection of subject matters, the exhib...
KOWASA gallery presents "The Vision of the Other: Modernity and the Photographed Face", a group show which attempts to define the way in which the human face was photographically constructed before its abolition by Postmodernism. The exhibition primarily offers a thorough insight into the history of portrait photography with a special emphasis on the shift of the portrait from being a mere "extension of the painted body" to being the photographic genre par excellence. At the same time it highlights the aesthetic and conceptual evolution of early portraiture from Pictorialism towards a modernist experimentation and subjectivity.
The exhibition gathers more than 70 black and white prints whose protagonists are Coco Chanel, Ernest Heminway, André Breton, Marc Chagall, Dalí, Josep Pl...
