    Rineke Dijkstra: A Retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. 2013

    From the statue of Rodin’s ballerina to Edward Weston’s photographic meditations on his son Neil and beyond, youth and its atmospheric aspect of beauty, fragility, and innocence quality has fascinated artists for centuries. In her most famous series, Beach Portraits (1992-2002), deals a lot with the same theme. Innocent stares at the camera in a moment, perhaps candid caught by the camera in a state of knowing or unknowing. Shot from a mid-low point with flash filled in the photograph, and its subject matter symmetrical and in the centre. 

    Rineke Dijkstra retrospective at the Guggenheim, New York. Brings together almost 70 photographs and 5 video installation.

    “The holdings of Italian art in the Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid are unique and unrivalled in museums outside Italy.  Drawn from its magnificent collection, this exhibition of over 70 paintings and 30 drawings presents a rich selection of works spanning 300 years of Italian art, from the early sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.

    More than 70 artists are represented including Raphael, Correggio, Titian, Tintoretto, the Carracci, Poussin and Tiepolo.  The exhibition reflects the taste of the Spanish Royal Court whose Kings and Courtiers avidly collected Italian art.  Successive rulers also commissioned works directly from the artists in Italy or enticed them to Spain to work in the Royal Household.  Many of these works are at the heart of the Prado’s collection and have never before left Spain.

    The exhibition is organised by Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid in association with the National Gallery of Victoria and Art Exhibitions Australia.”

    Exhibition: ‘Hustlers’ Philip Lorca diCorcia, at David Zwirner Gallery, New York

    What a joy to be able to post these works!

    Philip Lorca diCorcia has always been one of my favourite fine photographers. The strong narrative and the love for craftsmanship in his work are incredible, dealing with contemporary issues and the notion of daily life, whether it would be New York locals rushing home in his ‘Heads’ series or the LA rebellious male prostitutes who roamed the streets in his series ‘Hustlers’, which are being exhibited now at the David Zwirner. His works are profoundly moving and relatable in so many aspects of life, they are also beautiful to look at with polarising dark humour. Philip Lorca diCorcia is back again to present one of his iconic series of photographs called ‘Hustlers’, depicting clueless and naïve male prostitutes in LA. 

    The show runs until November 2, so if you’re in New York. Check it out!

    This exhibition, on view at David Zwirner New York, presents photographs from Philip-Lorca diCorcia’s Hustlers series (1990-1992). Taken just over twenty years ago in Los Angeles in the vicinity of Santa Monica Boulevard, it features male prostitutes posing for the camera for a fee loosely equivalent to what they would charge for their sexual services. DiCorcia paid the subjects with grant money awarded to him by the National Endowment for the Arts, a bold gesture during the controversial years that witnessed censorship of NEA-supported exhibitions by Robert Mapplethorpe, Andres Serrano, and other artists.

     In 1993, twenty-one photographs were exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, marking diCorcia’s first museum solo exhibition. The show, entitled Strangers, was later accompanied by a museum publication. Two decades later, the exhibition at David Zwirner presents thirty-six photographs from the series, including twelve works newly produced and shown for the first time, and coincides with the publication Hustlers (steidldangin). Created by Pascal Dangin in collaboration with the artist, this large-scale publication presents the series in its entirety.

    Hustlers marks the beginning of diCorcia’s engagement with street photography. Many of his works appear to depict random events in public settings, yet rarely involve chance. For this project, each composition was carefully arranged before nearby hustlers were approached, and the result is a series of loaded narratives that revolve around a tension between the subject’s unique presence in front of the camera and the artist’s predetermined idea for the shoot. Depicted in a variety of settings including vacant lots, fast food chains, bus stops, and motel rooms, the hustlers are identified in the titles of the photographs by their name, age, place of birth, and payment received for posing for the camera.

    Also on view, and shown for the first time in the United States, is a room-sized installation composed of three synchronized single-channel projections entitled Best Seen, Not Heard (2012), which presents photographs of the hustlers on a large screen flanked by the opening and closing credits of old porn movies, dating from the 1920s to the 1950s.
