Diane Arbus: Konstellationen
In the organizer's words:
Diane Arbus is considered one of the most visionary and influential artists of the 20th century, who radically challenged aesthetic conventions with her expressive black and white photographs. With Diane Arbus: Constellations, the Gropius Bau is presenting the most comprehensive exhibition of her work to date. Many of the 454 photographs are being shown for the first time as part of the survey exhibition and offer new perspectives on the artist's iconic portraits and diverse oeuvre.
For much of her career, which lasted from the late 1950s to 1971, Diane Arbus worked in New York City. Using the medium of photography, she created a diverse and captivating portrait of life in the post-war United States. Her subjects include couples, children, drag performers, nudists, passers-by in New York City, suburban families, circus artists, intellectuals such as Susan Sontag and stars such as Mae West and James Brown.
The retrospective at the Gropius Bau unfolds as a labyrinthine "constellation" of photographs. It follows neither a chronological nor a thematic order. Instead, it invites visitors to wander freely between the images and discover relationships and resonances between the motifs.
Diane Arbus: Constellations is organized by LUMA Arles in collaboration with the Gropius Bau, Berlin. The exhibition is curated by Matthieu Humery, Curator at Large, LUMA Arles. Exhibition Management Gropius Bau: Lisa Tietze, Project Management
