The latest works of Antonio Azuaga, Richard Caldicott, John Goto, Edward Mapplethorpe and Silvio Wolf
Since 2003 abstract photography has been a central and recurring theme of the gallery programme. Next to three artists the gallery has worked with since 2003 - Antonio Azuaga (Spain), Richard Caldicott (Great Britain) and John Goto (Great Britain), we have invited Edward Mapplethorpe (USA) and Silvio Wolf (Italy) to show their latest work. From the beginning of photography in the late 19th Century, the medium has often defined itself through the often dramatic rivalry of painting versus photography. In Lambert Wiesing's essay on abstraction (2000) he distinguishes various forms of abstraction in photography: abstraction in the photographic production process, in the photograph itself, in the view point, to make something specific visible and to create form or art in its own purpose. What brings all these together though is surely the intention of reduction to its most essential, inner form. Image: Silvio Wolf, Horizon 16 - Chance 03, 2002.
