Baldessari shaped the Conceptual Art landscape garnering early acclaim for his signature use of colourful dots atop photographic images. On a visit to a museum in 1965, Baldessari was struck by the use of unpainted plaster to fill in missing shards of Greek vases. This prompted his interest in how images are effected by having portions removed or blotted out, and he has continued to explore this ever since.

Gerhard Richter is famous for a prolific and stylistically varied exploration of the medium of painting, often incorporating and exploring the visual effects of photography. “I like everything that has no style: dictionaries, photographs, nature, myself and my paintings,” he says. “Because style is violent, and I am not violent.”

In the 1960s, Richter began to create large-scale photorealist copies of black-and-white photographs rendered in a range of grays, and innovated a blurred effect (sometimes deemed “photographic impressionism”) in which portions of his compositions appear smeared or softened—paradoxically reproducing photographic effects and revealing his painterly hand.

He continued to move freely between figuration and abstraction, producing abstractions, and ‘Photo Paintings’ of anything from nudes, flowers, and cars to landscapes, architecture, and scenes from N**i history. In 2014 Richter started to collaborate with HENI Productions to produce high-quality facsimile objects and reproductions of Richter’s art. These prints are made under Richter’s direction and approval and are numbered and unsigned.

C-print in full colour

Unknown edition, limited by time

__

Cindy Sherman is an American photographer and filmmaker whose self-portraits offer critiques of gender and identity. What made Sherman famous is the use of her own body in roles or personas in her work, with her seminal series Untitled Film Stills (1977–1980) being particularly important. These black-and-white photographs feature the artist herself as a model in various costumes and poses, and are her portrayals of female stereotypes found in film, television, and advertising.

Nan Goldin is an American documentary photographer known for her deeply personal and candid portraiture. Influenced both by the fashion photography of Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin as well as the revelatory portraits of Diane Arbus and August Sander, Goldin captured herself and her friends, intimates and acquaintances, in a series of indelible images of unflinching, often unflattering candour. 

Serpentine and The Royal Parks are delighted to announce the unveiling of a new large-scale sculpture by German artist Gerhard Richter (b. 1932, Dresden, Germany; lives and works in Cologne, Germany). Situated on the plinth at Serpentine South, in Kensington Gardens, STRIP-TOWER (2023) will be staged from 25 April to 27 October 2024. It will be the latest presentation in a long-standing series of remarkable public presentations in The Royal Parks since Serpentine’s foundation in 1970.

STRIP-TOWER (2023) expands on the artist’s continued exploration of painting, photography, digital reproduction and abstraction and self-scrutinising approach that have occupied his practice for over six decades.

Richter began developing his series of Strip Paintings in 2010, inspired by an earlier ‘squeegee painting’ titled Abstract Painting 724-4(1990). This painting was then photographed. With the support of a software programme, the scanned images were digitally manipulated and divided into two strips, then four, eight, sixteen and thirty-two. The vertical strips of the painting were then stretched across a horizontal expanse before being laminated onto aluminum and covered with Perspex. STRIP-TOWER employs a similar method, in which colourful striped ceramic tiles clad two perpendicular panels. The thin vertical stripes form a dense composition where the intersecting panels create a cross section that visitors can also stand within

Tacita Dean is a British Conceptual artist known for her esoteric films and photgraphy. In film she explores both specific historical events and formal qualities of the medium, as seen in her Disappearance at Sea (1996) and The Green Ray (2001). 
 
Dean’s use of celluloid film, photography, installation, and drawing, seems an act of mourning for the analog world of documents and photographs as it passes into the realm of a massive digital archive. 
 
“A world that won’t forget is a world drowned in its not forgetting,” she reflected. “Do we want a world full of unedited memory? To be human is to be finite.”

“The particular strength of photography lies in an absolutely realistic recording of the world. This sets it apart from all other image media; photography can do this better than anything else. And the more precisely it depicts objects the stronger its magical effect on the observer.”

Julian Opie is a contemporary British artist known for his distinctive depictions of figures, portraits, and landscapes. Portraits and animated walking figures, rendered with minimal detail in black line drawing, are hallmarks of the artist’s style. The highly stylised treatment Opie gives his subjects is a blend of Pop Art and Minimalism with a contemporary sensibility. 
 
When asked to describe his approach, Opie said “I often feel that trying to make something realistic is the one criterion I can feel fairly sure of. Another one I sometimes use is, would I like to have it in my room? And I occasionally use the idea, if God allowed you to show Him one [portrait] to judge you by, would this really be it?”

Richard Avedon was an influential American fashion and fine art photographer. His iconic portraits of celebrities, spanned more than half of the 20th century, and included Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, The Beatles and Andy Warhol. 
 
“My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph,” he once observed. Avedon’s fashion shots were profoundly dramatic and dynamic, often capturing the model in motion. Working during a time when the prevailing trend had been to present portraits that were still and subdued, his stood out with their intimate viewpoint.

_ Gregory Crewdson
UNTITLED (RAY OF LIGHT) 003, 2023
Digital pigment print on 305gsm Moab Juniper Baryta paper.
28 x 35 cm
Edition of 312 signed lower right corner recto
_ Gregory Crewdson is an American photographer best known for staging cinematic scenes of suburbia to dramatic effect. His surreal images are often melancholic, offering ambiguous narrative suggestions and blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality.

They concentrate on a tension between domesticity, nature, and the unknown. The characters in his elaborate constructions act subconsciously, as if under the spell of a foreign entity. Their unusual actions suggest a mysterious narrative involving supernatural contact. Crewdson has acknowledged Steven Spielberg’s film Close Encounters of the Third Kind as a primary influence. Like the character in the film, Crewdson’s subjects perform eccentric, ritual-like acts.

Working with large production teams to scout and shoot his images, his photographs have become increasingly complex as if it were for a motion picture production.

As a professor of photography at Yale University, Crewdson has been deeply influential on his students, and is a forerunner of a group of photographers that make use of carefully assembled models and staged components. These artists blend traditional documentary photography styles with fictional elements. By employing this technique, the photographer no longer passively experiences the world and then edits it, but actively creates the world and then photographs it.

In her new illustrated book Heimat, Ellen von Unwerth goes on a nostalgic, frivolous photo stalk through her Bavarian homeland. Who can blame her for finding a lot of pretty girls in revealing costumes and extremely hunky farm boys alongside the picturesque backdrops?

The photo offered here comes from the limited art edition of 100 numbered copies, each with the original print Tête-à-tête, signed by Ellen von Unwerth

RIP Elliott Erwitt. One of the true greats of photography.

An early member of the Magnum photographers collective and famous for his, often humorous, observations of American life, film shots and celebrity portraits.

Magnum said Erwitt would be remembered for “seeking out the most absurd and charming moments of life”.
“It was Erwitt’s firm belief that photography should speak to the senses and emotions rather than intellect,”

Candida Höfer’s work is widely recognised for its technical perfection and conceptual approach. It is focused on the presentation and structure of space, what we do to space, and what space does to us.

Her meticulously composed photographs explore the internal architecture of space, in places such as churches, zoos, opera houses, libraries, and museums. Höfer presents these images on a large scale, which has become a hallmark of her work. In depicting emptiness,

Candida Höfer attempts to capture the feeling of loss that someone’s disappearance engenders.

Our Artist of the week…Andy Warhol (born Warhola) is an American artist, film director, and producer. Initially successful as an illustrator and graphic designer, Warhol began creating his own paintings based on advertisement imagery. Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical reproduction, he drew widely from popular culture and everyday subject matter becoming the driving force and leading proponent of the Pop Art movement.

His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture

Shocking in its time for its embrace of "low art" and detachment from emotion, Warhol created some of the 20th century’s most iconic images. The now-infamous series of Campbell’s Soup Cans, Disasters, Electric Chairs, and celebrity portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy, and Elvis Presley, among others.
