Über diesen Titel

Críticas

Includes over 300 works by more than 100 artists, making it the first exhibition of this scale to trace abstract art and photography's parallel development.--Marigold Warner "British Journal of Photography "

Shows how masters from Man Ray and Mondrian to Maya Rochat transformed reality in their laboratory-like darkrooms and studios.--Carl O'Hagan "The Guardian "

Shape of Light...aligns photography with abstraction, and asserts quite definitively that nothing has to "have been" in order to become the subject of a photograph.--Gaby Wood "The Telegraph "

This epic exhibition shows how masters from Man Ray and Mondrian to Maya Rochat transformed reality in their laboratory-like darkrooms and studios.--Carl O'Hagen "Guardian "

Comprehensive historical overview of photography's complex relation with abstract art.--Flaunt

Showcases the ways in which photographers have manipulated light and materials to make abstract images rather than a reflection of real life.--Alexandra Wolfe "Wall Street Journal "

Shape of Light explores the development of photography and abstract art over the past century from the early explorations for a new reality that could be told through the formal properties of the picture plane, to the heights it has continued to achieve as modern and contemporary movements have taken hold, offering its own discourse on the infinite possibilities for abstraction to transcend all boundaries.--Sara Rosen "Feature Shoot "
