Né en 1943, l’artiste allemand Jürgen Klauke est une importante figure du mouvement post-moderne. Dès le début des années 1970, il développe une approche conceptuelle de la photographie et se met en scène afin de rendre perceptible sa vision critique du monde actuel. En 1976-1977, il utilise les normes de la photographie d’identité pour réaliser « Les Représentations sociopsychologiques de la figure humaine », une grille de douze images noir et blanc uniformes, se distinguant seulement par les différentes mimiques de l’artiste. Klauke associe ici le mot à l’image pour dénoncer et déconstruire les clichés sociopsychologiques. Les légendes situées en haut de chaque photographie indiquent des noms de professions ou caractères sociaux stéréotypés (le juge, l’anarchiste, le prêtre, le meurtrier, etc…). L’ensemble est ponctué avec des autoportraits de l’artiste titrés « maintenant sérieux », « maintenant souriant », marquant avec une certaine ironie la simplicité de cette convention sociale et de ce modèle collectif.

Auction 1068: Photography
Friday, 3 June 2016 2pm
Highlight of this sale is a group of vintage prints by Albert Renger-Patzsch, which includes his famous image "Natterkopf" from 1925. The exceptional work was published in 1928 in his photo book "Die Welt ist schön" (lot 20, €15,000–20,000). The piece was made together with two other animal portraits at Dresden Zoo (lots 18/19, each est. €5,000-6,000) and due to its fascinatingly abstract graphic qualities it has become one of Renger-Patzsch’s most famous works.

Jürgen Klauke exposes «Maskulinfeminin»
Jürgen Klauke is a key figure in art today and for some time many of his creations have constituted part of the most widely known repertoire of contemporary art, where he has exerted a huge influence over the last thirty years. His work, permanently fluctuating between extreme attraction and rejection, arouses both fascination and irritation. Klauke was among the first artists to avail themselves of photography as an instrument for artistic expression. Few people have explored as coherently, as keenly and with such versatility the possibilities and limits of the medium, opening it to as yet uncharted terrain. His work has quite explicitly stressed gender difference, radically pinpointing the identity problem through images that are sometimes highly provocative.
Concurrently with Robert Morris and Bruce Nauma... - Exposition
Inspiration Photomaton au Musée de l'Elysée
Lorsque les premières cabines de photomaton furent installées à Paris en 1928, les surréalistes en firent un usage intensif et compulsif. En quelques minutes, et pour une somme modique, la machine leur offrait, dans le domaine du portrait, une expérience similaire à celle de l’écriture automatique. Depuis, des générations d’artistes ont été fascinées par le principe du photomaton. De Andy Warhol à Arnulf Rainer, en passant par Thomas Ruff, Cindy Sherman, ou Gillian Wearing, ils sont nombreux à s’être emparé du photomaton pour jouer avec leur identité, raconter des histoires, ou faire des mondes.

Sonntagsneurosen de Jürgen Klauke
20 years after the foundation of Galerie Anita Beckers we are pleased to announce our upcoming show with Juergen Klauke.
Starting as a publishing house, Anita Beckers carried editions by renowned artists such as Juergen Klauke, Guillaume Bijl, Wim Delvoye, Thomas Huber and Urs Lüthi. Later, this edition gallery resulted in an art gallery which is based in Frankfurt since 1998.
We are celebrating this special anniversary with an exhibition by Jürgen Klauke, one of the most important performance, photo and media artists in Germany. As a pioneer of body art he has not only written history but also a discourse on identity which provided a visual-mental basis since the seventies. The films produced during that time have lost none of their actuality. On the contrary, they continuously stand for the pol... - Exposition
Female Trouble The camera as mirror and stage of female projection
Since the invention of photography more than 170 years ago it has been largely women who have used this technical medium to project themselves through role playing and masquerading. As well as the experimental urge to constantly recreate ones ego, the camera has also served as a means of calling into question clichés of female representation. Playing with the image of the eternally feminine was and remains a discourse with gender identity, its social and political definitions and reaching beyond them.
The exhibition focuses on contemporary women artists such as Cindy Sherman, Sarah Lucas, Monica Bonvicini and Pipilotti Rist, who with the aid of photography and video art investigate the female image. The artists explore the question of what image patterns the media age employs for portraying femininity and how t... - Exposition
