ArteF Fine Art Photography Gallery invites you to an exciting exhibition of 40 prints by international masters of photography. The exhibition shows vintage reportage photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau, rare vintage prints by Tina Modotti from the 1920s, Engadin-pictures by Albert Steiner as well as the famous „Ice Skater Waiter, St Moritz“ by Alfred Eisenstaedt and portraits of great artists by Carl van Vechten.

Gregory Crewdson’s mystique color prints, Giovanni Sesia’s painted photographs, Sandy Skoglund’s and Roberto Raineri-Seith’s surrealistic images are presented along intriguing photomontages by Jean-Pascal Imsand, abstract compositions by Aaron Siskind, sensitive platinum prints by Bob Tyson, on litex enlarged and painted photographs by Pablo Soria and large gum dichromate alpine landscapes by Jean Janssis.

Deeply touching works by French performance-artist Orlan complete the exhibition. Orlan disfigures her body with plastic surgery („Carnal Art“). Transforming her face in opposition to ruling standards of beauty she questions the status of the body in art history and society.
