The Elephant Girl
‘You’re what?, a rabbit asked a stranger at midnight’s hour.
‘Why, I’m the ghost of the sorrowful girl’, the stranger replied, ‘and never did I suppose that rabbits could talk.’‘They can’t’, the rabbit replied ‘I too am a ghost. A ghost from the mind of that sorrowful girl.’
An abandoned summerhouse from a time long gone. Children’s spirits are drifting in the surroundings, sort of wandering back and forth. They have each other for company, and their friends stepped out of the world of fantasy. The images develop sensations of events taking place a long time ago.
Underneath the apple tree they line up for a group portrait. A girl is lying in bed in a room with an old ivy taking over the floor and the walls.In Helena Blomqvist’s fourth solo show with Angelika Knäpper Gallery it’s about death, friendship, transient and the relentless march of time.These images carry resemblance to the work of photographers such as Julia Margaret Cameron, as well as the aesthetics of the Pre-Raphaelites. They also refer back to Beatrix Potter stories and the film Gray Gardens.

A catalogue will be published in connection with the exhibition. It will also come in a special edition.

Photojournalism is in the midst of a remarkable, and singularly unexpected, renaissance. New practices, strategies, viewpoints, techniques, and agents have radically transformed the institutions and the fundamental concepts of the field. Whilst it has become fashionable to lament the death of photojournalism, actual events suggest that something quite different is taking place. The group exhibition Antiphotojournalism charts these new developments in exciting ways.
Included is work by Broomberg & Chanarin, Mauro Andrizzi, Jonathan Cavender, Robbie Wright, Shane McDonald, Hito Steyerl, Ariella Azoulay, Paul Lowe, Goran Galic & Gian-Reto Gredig, Laura Kurgan, Renzo Martens, Kadir van Lohuizen, Allan Sekula, Phil Collins, Walid Raad/The Atlas Group, Paul Fusco, Gilles Peress and Susan Meiselas. Compilations by Sohrab Mohebbi, Eyal Weizman, with Yazan Khalili and Tony Chakar.
New methods of reporting the news, new imaginations of what the news might be, have challenged the hegemonic figure of the photojournalist at its core and given birth to the most interesting ideas. This critical approach is called, following Allan Sekula, 'antiphotojournalism'. It has a multiplicity of forms, such as film, video, slides, web-based presentations and many more.
Antiphotojournalism provides a profound and passionate fidelity to the image, unleashed from the demands of the traditional approach of photojournalism. It is freed to ask other questions, to make other claims, to tell other stories. Sometimes the gesture is reflective. Sometimes the desire is evidentiary not in the old sense of simply offering the 'evidence' of images to an assumedly homogenous public opinion, but in a much more precise way: photographs have become evidence in war crimes tribunals. Sometimes the innovation is technological, whether it involves working with the hi-tech resources of advanced satellite imagery or the low-tech crowd-sourcing of participatory protest imaging. Sometimes the practices are archival. And sometimes the question is simply whether we even need images at all.
The exhibition juxtaposes reportages by established Magnum practitioners with material from autonomous artists and even amateurs. The works can be viewed in a myriad of ways, from slide shows to YouTube films, from music videos to satellite imagery and archival material.

Antiphotojournalism is curated by Carles Guerra and Thomas Keenan. The exhibition is produced by the City of Barcelona, Institut de Cultura: La Virreina Centre de la Imatge.

Sigmar Polke | Photoworks
In Spring 2010 Lempertz auctioned, with great success, a representative selection of the Carl and Carin Vogel Collection, which also included photography from Sigmar Polke. Further photographic works from this artist with the same provenance will be offered for sale in our Contemporary Art auctions from Autumn 2011. Before this occurs, and this amazing collection is again dispersed, it gives us great pleasure to present, for the first and perhaps the last time, a selection of these works in an exhibition.
Included in the exhibition are, amongst others, early staged photographic works from Polke from the 1960s, as well as motifs from his famous series 'Paris' from 1971. Through numerous exposures, Sigmar Polke captured his personal surroundings throughout the 1970s – artist friends, private views und travels – and then artistically worked them by the use of chemical manipulation in the darkroom and overpainting.
The exhibition will run at Lempertz, during Art Cologne, and then at our representative office in Brussels, parallel to Art Brussels. It will also be on show in the autumn at our branch offices in Berlin and Munich.
An accompanying catalogue with essays from Siegfried Gohr and Maren Klinge documents the, up till now, largely unpublished works.

Josef Sudek
Verre, du cycle ”Simple Still Lifes”, 1950-1959
Vintage pigment print Estimate € 14,000 – 18,000

On 10 May 2011, Sotheby’s European Photographs department will hold two Photographs sales: L’Essentiel Heinz Hajek-Halke an auction which comprises the most compelling vintage prints from the 1920s to the 1950s of this German avant-garde photographer coming to auction directly from the artist’s estate, and Photographies a various owner sale offering an exceptional selection of works by the leading photographers of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
Prior to the auction date the highlights from both sales are sent on a travelling exhibition to Sotheby’s New York and London in addition to the preview in Paris. The exhibition in London will be on show from 16 to 21 April and will focus on high quality material from the 19th century and early 20th century - the vintage era.
A prime example is the work of the pioneering Czech master Joseph Sudek. In our last sale in Paris in November 2011 we have achieved world record prices for two of his vintage pigment prints: Sans titre (Vase et rose morte), 1952 was estimated at € 14,000 – 18,000 and realised € 228,750, Sans titre (Etude de nature-morte), 1952 was estimated at € 18,000 – 23,000 and realised € 300,750.
On exhibition in London will be three fantastic pigment prints: Nature-morte à la poire, 1950-54 (€ 8,000 – 12,000), Nature-morte à la branche de mûres, 1950s (€ 10,000 – 15,000), Verre, du cycle ”Simple Still Lifes”, 1950-1959 ( € 14,000 – 18,000).

Man Ray, the great modernist who significantly contributed to the Dada and Surrealist movements and famously made the photogram his own under the name of Rayograph – an image created by placing an object directly on a piece of photographic paper and exposing it to light to capture its impression – will be represented in the exhibition with one of these ethereal creations Rayograph, 1924, estimated at € 120,000 – 150,000, as well as vintage silver prints of a Mathematical Object, 1936 (€ 30,000 – 50,000) and a Nude, c. 1933 (€ 40,000 – 60,000).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man Ray
Untitled, Rayograph, 1924
Vintage silver print Estimate € 120,000 – 150,000
A representative selection from the single owner sale The Essential Heinz Hajek-Halke will showcase the ingenuity of this remarkable figure of German avant-garde photography. Hajek-Halke’s oeuvre holds a significant place in the history of photography. His artistic output from the inter-war period is characterised by photomontages and experimental works with an ironic, critical, sometimes political, even almost anarchic expression; many of his pictures reflect the modernity of life in a metropolis like Berlin. After WWII Hajek-Halke focused on abstract experimental studies which he called ‘Lichtgrafiken’. In 1949, he joined the avant-garde group fotoform founded in Saarbrücken by Otto Steinert, Peter Keetman and others. He died in Berlin in 1983.
We look forward to welcoming you at our London premises.
