Angela Grauerholz: Recent Photographs
1993, MIT List Visual Arts Center
This exhibition includes fourteen recent, large-scale black and white photographs by a German-born artist presently living and working in Montréal. Portraits, nudes, landscapes, urban sites and interior settings are among Grauerholz’s diverse subjects. Her tentative images are soft-focused, sepia-toned and ambiguous in relation to time and place. Influenced by film and literature, the artist wants her photographs to be “as open as I can possibly make them, so that the viewer can reinvest what he or she feels into a particular scene, into a particular image.” Essay by the curator Helaine Posner.
