Sally Mann est une photographe américaine née en 1951 à Lexington en Virginie. Elle a étudié la photographie à la Praestegaard Film School. Elle a reçu plusieurs prix prestigieux, dont le « Photographe de l'année » en 1995.
Ses œuvres et collections sont présentes dans de nombreux musées aux État-Unis et dans le monde : entre autres au musée d'art moderne de New York, au musée d'art moderne de San Francisco, au musée de l'université Harvard à Cambridge, au Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art... De nombreuses expositions lui sont régulièrement consacrées à travers le monde.
Sally Mann photographie le plus souvent en noir et blanc en format 8x10. Elle travaille elle-même ses épreuves dans son laboratoire personnel. Elle réalise ses prises de vue surtout en extérieur, la plupart du temps dans sa grande propriété à Lexington, isolée dans les bois des collines Blue Ridge Mountains. Ses sujets de prédilection sont les membres de sa famille et ses amis proches, la nature qui l'entoure, les natures mortes et plus récemment les effets de la mort et de la décomposition.
Ses photographies jouent sur des contrastes profonds, conférant à des sujets de la vie quotidienne un caractère sensuel et mystérieux, parfois mystique.
Sally Mann s'est fait connaître du grand publique par son œuvre « At Twelve », une série de portraits de jeunes adolescentes entre l'enfance et l'age adulte. Mais elle est surtout réputée pour son œuvre très controversée, « Immediat Family », où elle ré-invente la photographie de famille. Sally Mann y montre son fils Emmet et ses deux filles Jessie et Virginia dans l'intimité de la vie de tous les jours où se mèlent l'innocence des jeux d'enfants, une sensualité troublante ainsi qu'une vertigineuse mise en abîme sur la mort, la violence et la vie.

La partie International de la collection était hébergée au Musée de l'Elysée à Lausanne depuis 1990. Elle regroupe plus de 4400 images d'artistes comme Ansel Adams, Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe et Sally Mann. Parmi elles, 1400 ont été prises avec l'appareil grand format de Polaroid, du 20x24. Cette aquisition permet à la collection de rester intacte.

First published in 1992, Immediate Family has been lauded by critics as one of the great photography books of our time, and among the most influential. First published by Aperture, and in print continuously since its release, this reissue features new scans and separations from Sally Mann’s original prints.
Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of her woodland summer home in Virginia, Sally Mann’s extraordinary, intimate photographs of her children reveal truths that embody the individuality of her own family yet ultimately take on a universal quality. With sublime dignity, acute wit, and feral grace, Mann’s pictures explore the eternal struggle between the child’s simultaneous dependence and quest for autonomy—the holding on and the breaking away. This is the stuff of which Greek drama...Livre Sally Mann - Proud Flesh Children, landscape, lovers—these subjects are almost as common to the photographic lexicon as light itself. But Sally Mann’s take on these iconic themes, rendered through both traditional and esoteric processes, is anything but common. Astonishingly original both in image and technique, Mann’s work consistently challenges the viewer: in her hands, experiences drawn from daily life are rendered both disquieting and sublime. Now, having studied relationships between parent and child, artist and subject, life and death, Mann’s Proud Flesh investigates the bonds between husband and wife.
Exquisitely detailed, intimate, psychologically and emotionally intense, Proud Flesh engages territory most often inhabited by male artists portraying their wives and female lovers as Mann turns the camera to her ...Livre Darkside, Vol. 2: Photographic Power and Photographed Violence, Disease and Death Following the survey of photographed sexuality and lust in Darkside I, the other end of the physical spectrum is illuminated: the intimate affinity between death and photography – impairment, disease, degeneration, violence and death, pain, grief and loss. Recording death is, along with war reporting, one of photography’s original tasks. Pictures of horror are often shocking and yet “bestselling”. They provoke questions about exploitation, complicity and power relationships – infront of and behind the camera and in the photograph itself. Photography often provokes accusations that it aestheticizes misery, creating a “pornography of horror”. Enlightenment quickly turns into transfiguration, photographic enlightenment into commerce. Darkside I and II examine Eros and Thanatos in pi...Vente Artnet Online auction Rebels

The prints, all with Sander's characteristic black ink frame and in their original mount, were produced in the early 1950s, a time when he concentrated intensively on the creation of diverse map works on the theme of landscape.

This exhibition explores the work of twenty-six contemporary artists—such as Sophie Calle (b. 1953), Adam Fuss (b. 1961 ), Idris Khan (b.1978), Vera Lutter (b. 1960), Sally Mann (b. 1951), Chris McCaw (b. 1971), Christian Marclay (b. 1955), and Carrie Mae Weems (b. 1953)—who investigate the complex and resonant relationship of photography to time, memory, and history.

Edwynn Houk Gallery, in cooperation with Gagosian Gallery, is pleased to announce an exhibition of new photographic self-portraits by Sally Mann (American, b. 1951) from 13 September through 3 November 2012. An opening reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, 13 September 2012, from 6-8pm.
Most people know Sally Mann as one of the most influential and important photographers working today, but what is far less known is the fact that Sally Mann is also an avid and successful equestrian. On her farm in Lexington, Virginia, Mann fills her pastures with Arabians, a breed known for their spiritedness, loyalty, and for their unyielding courage, a combination of character traits which are essential for endurance riding, Mann’s chosen sport.

Capture the past. That was the assignment photographers Bruno Vandermeulen and Danny Veys were given at the archaeological site of Sagalassos in Turkey. How does a photographer approach the past? When photographing the ancient city, Vandermeulen and Veys decided not just to record the archaeological finds, but to question the very objectivity of the lens itself.
This was the starting point for Imaging History. How does one look at something that is no longer there? Do we have enough imagination, or does it vary according to the vision of the photographer? Along with Vandermeulen and Veys, five internationally renowned photographers - Shimon Attie (USA, 1957), Raphaël Dallaporta (FR, 1980) Sally Mann (USA, 1951), Bart Michiels (BE, °1964) and Simon Norfolk (NGA, 1963) - present a series of images and appro...Exposition Sally Mann - Proud Flesh at Jackson Fine Art

...Exposition Polaroid en péril ! Durant un demi-siècle, Polaroid a été synonyme de photographie instantanée. Les amateurs comme les professionnels s’enthousiasmaient à l’idée d’appuyer sur le déclencheur de l’appareil pour en voir sortir un petit tirage quelques minutes plus tard. Le format et le cadre blanc font du Polaroid un objet immédiatement identifiable, lequel n’est, par ailleurs, pas un multiple. Peu après son apparition en 1948, le Polaroid s’est imposé comme un objet culte. Dans les années 1960, près de la moitié des foyers américains possédait un tel appareil.
Dès sa fondation en 1937, la société Polaroid a cherché à innover dans de nombreux domaines. Avant la...Exposition Sally Mann at the Karsten Greve gallery The Karsten Greve Gallery presents an important exhibition devoted to the American Photographer Sally Mann, born in Lexington, Virginia in 1951. This exhibition will present different stages of the artist’s work in the form of a retrospective featuring photographs taken since the mid-1990’s until now. (Deep South 1996-1998, Battlefields 2000-2002, Faces 2004, and Proud Flesh 2004-2009) From the start, Sally Mann has remained true to her principle of photographing her personal environment, whether it involves the landscapes of the southern United States where she has lived since her childhood, or her family. She evokes universal themes such as childhood, memory and the relationship with death. Pushing the limits of a simple representation of reality, she exposes certain details in order to move towards s...Exposition Sally Mann à la galerie Karsten Greve La galerie Karsten Greve présente une exposition consacrée à la photographe Sally Mann, sous la forme d’un parcours rétrospectif des différentes étapes du travail de l’artiste à travers des photographies réalisées depuis le milieu des années 1990 jusqu’à nos jours. (Deep South 1996-1998), (Battlefields 2000-2002), (Faces 2004) et (Proud Flesh 2004-2009).
Depuis ses débuts, Sally Mann est restée fidèle à son principe de photographier son environnement proche, qu’il s’agisse des paysages du Sud des États-Unis, où elle vit depuis son enfance, ou de sa famille. Elle y évoque des thématiques universelles telles que l’enfance, la mémoire ou le ...Exposition Summer Loves This exhibition is based on the idea of 'infatuations' that can affect both photographers and exhibition curators. People often suppose that museums make choices as objectively as possible, but actually this is far from from the truth. Just as an artist may feel physically and emotionally attracted to a particular subject, the collector or curator might also have a ‘crush’ on a certain work. The term ‘the infatuated camera’ comes from the title of a 1971 film by Ed van der Elsken, De Verliefde Camera, a compilation of travel clips previously filmed by him. This exhibition has been assembled in a similar way; photographs and film rushes from the present day contrast with excerpts and impressions from the previous century. Works have been seemingly casually arranged according to summery themes: hang...Exposition The Family and the Land, Sally Mann The work of American photographer Sally Mann is deeply rooted in both her family, and the landscape she lives and works in. This exhibition, her first solo-show in the UK, draws on several powerful photographic series from throughout her long career that reflect these influences.
Sally Mann (b.1951, USA) first came to prominence for Immediate Family (1984 – 94), a series of intimate and revealing portraits of her three young children Emmett, Jessie and Virginia. Taken over ten years, Mann depicts them playing and acting to camera in and around their homestead in Virginia. Capturing their childhood in all its rawness and innocence, both this and the later series Faces were born out of a collaborative process between mother and child.
Changing focus to the landscape close to her home, the series Deep South (199...Exposition LA COLLECTION S'EXPOSE - Polaroïd en péril !

S'étendant sur vingt ans, le travail de cette photographe américaine (née à Lexington, en Virginie, en 1951) traite des thèmes de l'intimité et de l'inexorable marche du temps. Les images de ses trois enfants, qu'elle a réunies en 1992 dans le livre Immediate Family, suscitent la controverse tout en la propulsant au sommet de la scène photographique américaine. L'oeuvre se développe autour de portraits - notamment ceux de ses enfants qu'elle regarde grandir - et de paysages qui semblent hors du temps et envahis par une nature exubérante et chargée de symboles. Les photographies plus récentes nous interpellent d'une autre manière en...Exposition M+B to host Elton John AIDS Foundation Exhibition April 24, 2009 – The Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) announced today the publication of its first Photography Portfolio to benefit urgently needed grant-making initiatives supporting innovative HIV prevention programs, efforts to eliminate AIDS-related discrimination and stigma, and direct care services. “The Portfolio is a way for us to connect with the visual arts world, which has always been at the forefront in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and it is proof that artists continue to care,” said Scott Campbell, Executive Director of the Foundation.

– Reynolds Price in Time Magazine (2001)
Everything about the work of Sally Mann (b. Lexington, VA, US, 1951) breathes atmosphere, whether we are talking about the portraits of her growing children, her photographs of the natural world around her, or the death and transience she depicts in such a unique way. Her use of antique cameras and 19th-century photographic processes gives her work an almost tangible authenticity. Her unique view of the world, and the way she manages to capture it, have made her one of ...Exposition Tokyo photo 2009 Japan's first art fair dedicated to still photography TOKYO PHOTO 2009 endeavors to be the foremost art fair of photography in Japan.

This raises questions: Why is there an intimate affinity between photography and death? Why does violence attract images? The visual world of western culture is full of images of violence – both random outbursts of violence and military violence, regulative state violence. In a strange reversal, societies have shut away images of life-affirming, life-giving sexuality, banishing them to the fringes of obscurity, whereas images of dark and excessive violence have been brought into the light. The reasons for this are ...Modifier l'image
