The Beauty of Lines.
Masterpieces from the Gilman and Gonzalez-Falla collection
The exhibition presents a selection of masterpieces from the history
of photography, part of the collection of Sondra Gilman and Celso
Gonzalez-Falla. Based in New York, it includes over 1500 original
prints by some of the greatest photographers of the 20th and 21st
centuries. Through visual confrontations, the visitor is invited to
experience the power of the photographic line through these sublime
works. The photographs by Berenice Abbott, Robert Adams, Walker
Evans, Rineke Dijkstra, Man Ray and Lee Friedlander, among others,
thus resonate, beyond their historical temporality and geographic
considerations, by their formal correspondences.
The exhibition will take place at the Musée D'Elysée in Lausanne from 31 January to 6 May 2018
