MODEL ARBUS GOLDIN
06.12.2018–24.03.2019
With Lisette Model (1901–83), Diane Arbus (1923–71) and Nan Goldin (* 1953) WestLicht presents three great American photographers whose work radically extended our view on society, casting a light on the other, the extraordinary, the margins and the eccentric. Over the course of three generations – starting with the Viennese-born Model – they each reinvented the dialogue between subject and photographer and joined a documentary with a highly idiosyncratic approach. Their works are as much expressions of their times and their particular environments as they are tributes to the plurality of being itself.
An exhibition in cooperation with Stiftung F.C. Gundlach, Hamburg, and Jelitzka Collection, Vienna, with additional loans from: Bank Austria Art Collection, Vienna, Keitelman Gallery, Brussels, Baudoin Lebon, Paris, Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, OstLicht Collection and the Sammlung Verbund Collection, Vienna
