04. – 05.10.2018
Künstler Komplex Fotografische Porträts von Baselitz bis Warhol. Sammlung Platen
The artist portrait has long since advanced to become a genre of its own and can be found in a wide variety of artistic media. Artist Complex sheds light on the portrait in photography and presents a broad range of both traditional and experimental facets of the medium from the 1920s to the 2000s. Wellknown names such as Berenice Abbot, Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gisèle Freund, and Arnold Newman take their place next to lesser known positions such as Helga Fietz, Hildegard Heise, and Jérôme Schlomoff, who are currently being reevaluated and, with their iconic portraits of Georg Baselitz, Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol, have found their way into the history of photography. A stocktaking of the myth that surrounds the concept of the artist, as well as the »complex« defined by C. G. Jung, a framework of emotions and memories that determine our thoughts and actions.
