About the Item
B/W-photography on matt photographic paper from HLn. Portfolio, each signed on the reverse (E484). Publisher Griffelkunst-Vereinigung Hamburg, with passepartout in museum quality.
Modern and contemporary Graphics, Modern Classics: renewal of nude photography through the female view of Karin Székessy, who creates compositions with a mysterious and erotic aura.
From series of six photographs with narrative group arrangements - crudely staged so that they appear fleeting and natural. The result is subtly dramatic pictorial compositions with an enigmatically dark and vague pictorial space as well as the network of relationships between the people, who react to each other but do not seem to be acting for any outside observer.
Masks and cloths as well as fruits, flowers and plants complete a transformation of the pictorial world into still lifes and girls in the confrontation as pairs of pictures: girls with their often restrained to aggressive eroticism appear as composed still lifes, emphasising the arrangements of plants and flowers and their inherent erotic statement.
Personal pictorial language that defines strong female nudes confident in their nudity. The artist celebrates the beauty and grace of the female body through aesthetic and authentic poses.
Karin Székessy (born 1939 in Essen, Germany) worked mainly as a photo reporter for magazines such as Kristall, Graphis or Twen until the 1960s, when she turned to free, artistic photography, especially nude photography, from 1963.
The representation of the female body is co-created by the mostly amateur models, who move freely and self-determinedly in front of the camera. The female view of a familiar observer emerges, instead of that of the demanding voyeur with which Székessy creates her famous poetic girls.
In the 1970s, artistic correspondences with her husband, the painter and sculptor Paul Wunderlich, emerged. In their collaborative works, both artists sometimes portray the same model in their own way, creating perspectives of the beauty and eroticism of the female body.
1957 to 1959 studied photography in Munich.
After 1966 works as a freelance photographer for press and advertising.
1967 to 1970 apprenticeship at the Werkkunstschule in Hamburg, specialising in fashion photography.

- Cindy's Shotgun WeddingBy David YarrowLocated in Denver, CODavid Yarrow has built an unrivaled reputation for capturing the beauty of the planet’s remote landscapes, cultures and endangered animals. Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966, he is now an internationally acclaimed fine art photographer and Europe’s best selling wildlife photographer. "You don't get a second chance to work withCindy Crawford, so there was obviously a little pressure. I took her to a place I know well -the ghost town of Nevada City,Montana as I hoped familiarity with the light and the angles would help me. I needed as many variables under my control as possible on an ambitious story line. The one thing we could not manage or predict was the weather and last week it was cold.If Cindy was outside her comfort zone with the temperatures so low and a big wolf as a companion, she did not flinch. She is professional, stoic and game and it was an honour to work with a true American idol. She sets a high bar on so many levels.It was a big effort for her to fly from LA to hang out with me and my team whom she had never met before and then work in freezing temperatures with some big wolves. She never complained and took no fee at all. Quite amazing.Proceeds from the sales of this image -Cindy’s Shotgun Wedding...Category
