Joel Meyerowitz
"Out of the Ordinary, Photographies 1970-1980" Arts Center, Athens
From 22 January to 15 March 2009
Extramural
This is the first European exhibition of the colour photography of Joel Meyerowitz. Produced by the Jeu de Paume and organised in close collaboration with the artist, the show offers a selection of photos taken between 1970 and 1980, a period of what the photographer saw as radical and decisive change.
Although Meyerowitz had taken colour photographs ever since the start of his career, in 1962, it was only at the turn of the 1970s that he began working exclusively in colour. The 120 vintage or modern prints in the ensemble presented here survey that vital decade that saw him questioning the medium, engaged in aesthetic exploration and developing a new style of photography.
