Glucksman exhibition features artists in front of the camera
It is co-curated by Glucksman director Fiona Kearney and Marco Pierini, and includes more than 80 works from the collection of the Galleria Civica di Modena in Italy.
The earliest photograph in the show is a portrait of a painter named Anton Räderscheidt. This was taken in 1927 by one of the best-known photographers of the early 20th century, August Sander. Entitled ‘Painter’, it is one of a series Sander made called ‘Face of Our Time’, where he took documentary portraits of ordinary people based on their profession.
