• Greg Gorman

  Born in Kansas in 1949, the photographer Greg Gorman now works at the heart of America’s, and the world’s media scene: Los Angeles. Here he presents a retrospect of 30 years’ work. Except for the frontispiece, these are all black and white photos. Revealing deep-rooted humanity as well as masterly craftsmanship, they attest to the photographer’s compassion, empathy with his subjects, irony and playful wit. His earliest work, done in the 1960’s, was a stroke of beginner’s luck that made him decide to become a photographer. His recent work, by contrast, is distinguished by meticulous attention to planning and executing the prints. The works shown here have been selected on the basis of iconography, that is, they are thematically ordered yet in such a way that backward glimpses enable us to follow Greg Gorman’s development as an artist. Many of the works shown in this anthology date from the 1980’s and even more from the 1990’s. Starting with early photos that mark Gorman’s beginnings as a photographer, such as the untypical snapshot of the young, as yet unformed, Jack Nicholson and the photos taken by Gorman at concerts, the relatively few 1970’s photos show a clearly traceable development from snapshot as the quick product of chance to sophisticated compositions reflecting the graphic idiom of classic black and white photography.

• Helmut Newton

  Following his recent death, Helmut Newton's position as one of the world's pre-eminent fashion photographers is assured. But to many he was much more than that. His controversial and beautiful pictures have broken down taboos, documenting and, to an extent, shaping society's changing attitudes to sex and female empowerment. Indeed author JG Ballard has argued that Newton was in fact nothing less than the world's greatest visual artist.
