Galerie Julian Sander is excited to show a selection of photographs from the private archive of Rosalind Fox Solomon (b. 1930). The focus of this compilation is on curious images that challenges a second look and lingering time from the viewer.
Solomon began her photographic career in the early 1970s, where she studied with Lisette Model during regularly trips to New York City.
"My liberation began with her," she said. "I took all kinds of pictures. Model encouraged me to go for the strongest picture, not to be afraid because they were disturbing."

She has since created an impressive collection of works. Her focus is on themes of identity, religion, conflict and sexuality. In the course of this, she combines her personal experiences with a broader examination of social issues.
A central feature of Solomon's work is her ability to capture the complexity of human nature. Her images are often infused with strong emotion, revealing the complexities of the human psyche. In doing so, she does not shy away from uncomfortable or controversial subjects. She shows us the beauty and challenges of life and forces us to confront the complexities of our own society. |

Solomon's photographs are reminiscent of character-based short stories; Her subjects, looking sharply and intensely into the camera, evoke many possible interpretations. At the same time, some of her subjects are surprising at first glance, irritating or making the viewer smile. Rosalind Fox Solomon has a special eye for curious moments in a person's life and photographs them with empathy and love, which in return evokes empathy.
Solomon's work has been included in the collections of more than 50 museums worldwide, and she has received numerous awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the ICP, a Guggenheim Foundation Award, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and a Lucie Achievement Award Portrait Prize. In addition to Liberty Theater, her books include Got to Go, THEM, Polish Shadow, and Chapalingas. She lives and works in New York City. |
