Artists portraits
Since 1968, the major focus of Angelika Platen's black-and-white
photography has been the dialogue with people who are creating art:
artists' portraits, which at the same time throw light on the work of the
model as well as his habit. Until 1975 Platen's camera banned numerous
artists who became famous in those days.
At the end of the 1990's, when Angelika Platen had a show with her
artists' portraits at the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, she went
back to her starting point and again took pictures of some of the - now
-aged artists and several of the younger generation.
Out of the long list of Platens artists' portraits Galerie Haas AG in
Zürich show works of Joseph Beuys, Christian Boltanski, Hanne Darboven
(1968 and 2002), Gilbert & George, Walter de Maria, Blinki Palermo,
Panamarenko, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, James Rosenquist, Dieter Roth,
Andy Warhol and others.
All works are oversized gelatine silver prints (120 x 80 cm) mounted on
aluminium, signed, titled, dated, and numbered on the back, in an edition
of 5.
