Photographic Treasures of the 20th Century. Following its highly successful premiere at Palazzo Grassi in Venice, the collaborative project will be shown at the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin starting 15 February 2024. "CHRONORAMA" marks the latest partnership between the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin and leading international collections. In 2018, it hosted "Between Art & Fashion", with 223 works by 85 photographers from the collection of Carla Sozzani, former editor-in-chief of the Italian Elle and Vogue. Now, the foundation unveils François Pinault’s recently acquired collection of exceptional photographs, including portraits, fashion, still lifes, architecture, photojournalism, as well as early illustrations from the legendary Condé Nast Archive. Showcasing nearly 250 works created between 1910 and the late-1970s for Condé Nast’s style-defining magazines, this chronological presentation traces the evolution of the fashion industry against the backdrop of radical changes in western culture, spanning subjects from the sophisticated to the sublime. Naturally, Helmut Newton’s works are also part of this remarkable collection, as he contributed extensively to Condé Nast magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair from the 1950s onward. Most of Newton’s fashion photographs featured in this show have not been previously exhibited in Berlin. Furthermore, the exhibition brings together an impressive array of Helmut Newton’s contemporaries and predecessors, including trailblazing photographers like Diane … | |

| © Koichiro Kurita 'A Piece', Catskill, NY 2005 | | Koichiro Kurita » | | | | Terrasphere Hydrosphere Atmosphere | | ... extended through 6 March 2024 | | | | | | | | Anyone visiting Johanna Breede's photo gallery in Berlin this winter will experience pure meditation on the walls: rocks resting stoically in a lake; grasses nestling against soft water; a line of snow snaking across dark rock like the boundary between yin and yang. The photographer of this poetic and contemplative work encounters nature with his camera as if he had just discovered the power of sight for himself. Koichiro Kurita turned a proud 80 years old in November. It has now been half a lifetime since the photographer and trained psychologist of perception discovered the book "Walden" by the writer Henry David Thoreau. "We can never get enough nature," reads the American classic. "The sight of inexhaustible vitality, of monstrous, titanic forms, must refresh us". Thoreau lived for two years in a wooden hut on the shores of Lake Walden in Massachusetts as a protest against the restless, busy life of the 19th century. Inspired by this, Kurita gave up his successful career as a photographer and director in the advertising industry at the age of 40 and moved into a studio in the Yatugatake Mountains in Japan to concentrate entirely on large-format landscape photography. Here, as well as in Canada and the USA, he immerses himself in nature and translates its forms and lines into a contemplative work using 19th century printing techniques. Kurita himself sees his work not only as an homage to Thoreau, but also to none other than Henry Fox Talbot. Talbot invented the photographic negative in 1935 and became a pioneer of photography on paper. His book "The Pencil of Nature" was published in the 1940s and - 100 years before Koichira Kurita was born - deals with the fascinating fact that images can be created entirely wi… | |

| Laura J. Padgett Confounding 2023 2 Archival Pigment Prints on Hahnemühle Museum Etching 350 gsm 96 x 66.67 cm each Edition of 4 + 1 AP | | Laura J. Padgett » Strata | | ... until 16 March 2024 | | | | | | | | In her artistic practice, Laura J. Padgett reveals the historical layers beneath the outer crust of the present. Her new work, which she made during the last two years at the Poelzig-Bau in Frankfurt, sheds light on the complex background of the building. Architectural and industrial history, collusion with National Socialism, post WWII history under the American military administration, and most recently becoming home to the J.W. Goethe University since 2001 manifest themselves in significant overlays. Further, Padgett has identified another area of memory within the building: the university collections are evidence of our cultural history and the ongoing metamorphosis how we perceive it. "What I look for now are places that resonate with history, that are, in a way, unmarked landmarks, and to make this history visible and palpable. Because our past is ours forever." Laura J. Padgett The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication with photographs by Laura J. Padgett an essay by Katharina J. Cichosch. Laura J. Padgett (b. 1958 in Cambridge, USA) received her BFA in painting from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. She continued her studies in film and photography at the Städelschule from 1983 to 1985 and received her MA in Art History and Aesthetics in 1994 from the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe University, both in Frankfurt am Main. Since the 1990s Laura J. Padgett has produced a complex body of work. She exhibits widely, while also participating in international film festivals and screenings. In addition to her exhibiting activities, the artist regularly writes on film, art and aesthetic theory. Since 1990 she has taught and lectured at various universities in Germany and abroad. … | |

| Uralkali Potash Mine #1, Berezniki, Russia, 2017 photo © Edward Burtynsky, courtesy Flowers Gallery, London | | Edward Burtynsky » EXTRACTION / ABSTRACTION | | 14 February – 6 May 2024 | | THU 15 FEBRUARY : IN CONVERSATION WITH EDWARD BURTYNSKY & SIR SIMON SCHAMA | | | | | | | | This exhibition marks the largest exhibition ever mounted in the 40+ year career of world-renowned photographic artist, Edward Burtynsky, who has dedicated his practice to bearing witness to the impact of human industry on the planet. Curated by Marc Mayer, former Director of the National Gallery of Canada and Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the exhibition features 94 of Burtynsky’s large-format photographs as well as 13 high-resolution murals, and an augmented reality (AR) experience. A centerpiece of the exhibition is the immersive film presentation of In the Wake of Progress (2022). A never-before-seen element in this exhibition, referred to as the “Process Archive,” will also showcase Burtynsky’s navigation through each of the technological shifts in the photographic medium that have occurred over recent decades. The exhibition reveals Burtynsky’s lifelong observation of humanity’s incursion into the natural world and the environmental consequences of industrial processes. Edward Burtynsky: "I have spent over 40 years bearing witness to how modern civilization has dramatically transformed our planet. At this time, the awareness of these issues presented by my large format images has never felt more urgent. I am grateful to be mounting the largest exhibition of my career at Saatchi Gallery in London, UK and I hope the exhibition experience will continue to provide inflection points for diverse conversations on these issues and move us all to a place of positive action." We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts | |

| Francesco Neri: San Pietro in Vincoli 9.11.22, 2022 | | Francesco Neri » Boncellino | | ... until 16 March 2024 | | | | | | | | This exhibition marks Italian photographer Francesco Neri’s London debut and the first presentation of a body of work made over the last two years in the tiny hamlet of Boncellino near to his home town of Faenza in the northern region of Emilia-Romagna. Faenza is surrounded by an abundant, cultivated landscape, farmed since Roman times with fruits and vegetables, vines and cereals. Increasingly, though, its rural villages are experiencing the deadening effects of depopulation and ecological degradation. Boncellino is the latest iteration of what has become a prolonged study of the agrarian communities of Neri’s native region. The study was catalysed in 2009 by an encounter with a local farmer Livio Papi. With their meeting, Neri found the key to unlock his own deep sense of connection to place. Through the portraiture of the region’s people, and more specifically, his photographic interaction with them, he saw the route "to understand where I am from". Like many photographers who focus on what is closest to them, the project is in one sense also an evolving self-portrait. Neri returns to photograph people - and the buildings they have made - again and again, "to retrace my steps and see how things and people have changed. I too have changed in turn." As the work grows, the photographer and his subjects age together, and the photographic project itself becomes a record of the passage of time. Excerpt from the introduction written by Kate Bush. Part of the exhibition is a new portfolio, Wooden Tool Shed, comprising 8 gelatin silver contact prints and an accompanying book with further illustrations, alongside a new text by David Campany, produced by Imagebeeld Edition, Brussels. | |

| Thomas Boivin Ménilmontant, 2014 Gelatin silver print, printed by the artist © Thomas Boivin Courtesy Les Douches la Galerie, Paris | | Thomas Boivin » Ici - Belleville, Ménilmontant, Place De La République | | 17 February - 6 April 2024 | | Opening: Saturday 17 February, 2 – 8pm | | | | | | | | Since 2010, Thomas Boivin has been pursuing his photographic work in the northeast of Paris, wandering around his home, strolling the streets, always favoring beautiful light. Portraits of passersby or residents he meets in multicultural neighborhoods and with whom he often establishes a dialogue, urban landscapes that bring out neglected corners, and his own black and white prints, with their subtly balanced shades of gray, have become his signature. Embracing the Paris of Brassai, Marcel Bovis or Robert Doisneau, Thomas Boivin doesn’t indulge in nostalgia either but prefers to draw inspiration from the contemporary American scene, where Mark Steinmetz and Judith Joy Ross, portraitists extraordinaire, are notorious among his influences. When he’s not photographing friends and family, or leaving the house, Thomas Boivin explores still lifes, echoing a pictorial tradition that also reflects his pronounced taste for simplicity and beauty. How did you become a photographer? Shortly after studying illustration at the Art Décoratifs de Strasbourg, I bought a digital camera – but quickly switched to a Leica - and got into the habit of taking walks with my camera or in the middle of my days, hunched over a drawing table. It wasn’t long before photography took over. Did you immediately choose to photograph in black and white? It was initially a rational choice: about a dozen years ago, black and white film was still cheap, and I didn’t have much money. At the time, it was possible to order film directly from the United States by the hundreds, without the trouble of customs fees. In any case, I was attracted to the idea of developing film by myself, and black and white film easily… | |

| Marvin E. Newman Untitled (woman serving soda and hot dogs), 1966 Archival pigment print, printed later © Estate Marvin E. Newman Courtesy Les Douches la Galerie, Paris | | Marvin E. Newman » HOMAGE | | 17 February - 6 April 2024 | | Opening: Saturday 17 February, 2 – 8pm | | | | | | | | Marvin E. Newman, who passed away on September 13, 2023, photographed everything from street photography to advertising and sports commissions, nightlife and fashion. Les Douches la Galerie, which had the pleasure of presenting his first solo show in France, in 2018, wanted to pay tribute to him, a few months after his death, with this exhibition of photographs taken in color, mainly in New York. This city, where he was born in 1927, was undoubtedly one of his favorite playgrounds, along with Chicago, where he settled to study at the Institute of Design (ID) between 1949 and 1952, alongside Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. An inquisitive man, open to the world and never taking himself too seriously, Marvin E. Newman was above all a storyteller. Through his work, the history of American photography from the post-war years to the present day unfolds before our eyes. | |

| Family Trilogy, 2020 © Christopher Anderson | | Christopher Anderson » Family Trilogy | | Kristine Potter » Dark Waters | | Jean-Marie Donat » Christmas Nightmare | | ... until 14 April 2024 | | | | | | | | Christopher Anderson naturally began photographing his family after his son Atlas came into the world in 2008. When his daughter Pia was born, he continued the fatherly attempt to stop time and not let a single moment of this new life slip away. Marion features throughout these albums, as a woman, mother, and partner. As a documentary photographer, Christopher Anderson had never considered these personal photos as a ‘series’, but his opinion changed when war photographer Tim Hetherington pointed out that “They’re all about the passage of time.” Christopher Anderson began seeing his family pictures in a new light and realised that they may well be his best work. Pia, Son and Marion were published as three separate books, forming a unique and moving intimate family trilogy. | |
