About the Item

Michael WOLF (1954 – 2019, Germany) Paris Street View #9, 2009 C-Print Sheet 177.8 x 228.6 cm (70 x 90 in.) Edition of 3 plus 1 AP; Ed. no. 1/3 Print only – Michael Wolf Michael Wolf was born in 1954 in Munich, Germany. He worked and lived in Paris and Hong Kong where he died in April 2019. The focus of Michael Wolf’s work is life in mega-cities. His projects document both the architecture and the vernacular culture of metropolises. Born in Munich, Wolf grew up in Canada, Europe, and the United States, studying at UC Berkeley and at the Folkwang School with Otto Steinert in Essen, Germany. He moved to Hong Kong in 1994, where he worked for eight years as a contract photographer for Stern magazine. Since 2003, Wolf has been focusing on his own projects, publishing over thirty books of his work. His work is held in many permanent collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Brooklyn Museum, the San Jose Museum of Art in California, the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, the Museum Folkwang in Essen, the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, and M+ in Hong Kong. – Street View ‘Paris street view’ deals with the cultural identity of Paris. with the aid of Google Street View technology, Wolf investigated the concept of representation and symbolism. By using pixelated images from the internet, he broke through Paris’ nearly universally recognizable photographic iconography and suggested a new way of reading the city. Two people embracing on a busy Paris street, for instance, are a playful reference to Robert Doisneau’s ubiquitous ‘Le Baiser de l’Hôtel de Ville‘ from 1950. But cropping out parts of images on Google Street View, ‘photos of photos’ are created that shed a new light on a city in which nearly everything has already been photographed. – Michael Wolf, Art, City, Street Photography, Colour Photography, Human, Google, Street View, Kiss, Monitoring, Paris, France, Technology

    Erik MADIGAN HECK (*1983, United States) Not Titled Yet, 2022 Chomogenic print Sheet 152.4 x 101.6 cm (60 x 40 in.) Edition of 9 plus 2 artist's proofs (#1/9) Print only Originally from Excelsior, Minnesota, Erik Madigan Heck (*1983) is one of the youngest and most promising American fashion photographers of the contemporary art scene. In his relatively short career the artist developed a personal way of looking at fashion, as Nathalie Herschdorfer underlines in her essay "Minimal and pure: Erik Madigan Heck fashion photographs". His work is characterized by a clear and distinctive treatment of colours and patterns, which makes it unequivocal. "Heck’s photographs push the concept to new limits, creating imagery that goes beyond traditional fashion photography. Meticulously constructed and enhanced with bright colours, blurring the line between the clothes and the background, his images play with this idea of ‘future’ silhouettes". – Nathalie Herschdorfer In 2017 Heck published his first monograph with Thames & Hudson and Abrams Books titled 'Old Future'. In his 'Old Future' series Madigan Heck explores the intersection of photography and painting as he borrows from and bends the genres of fashion photography, landscape painting and portraiture. Madigan Heck is a regular contributor to The New York Times...
