Burns, Marsha: Portraits of photographers
Est: €500 - €750
Portrait series. 1984-1985. 11 vintage gelatin silver prints on Agfa paper. Each circa 25 x 20 cm. Each signed and editioned1/25 by the photographer in ink, as well as stamped and annotated in pencil on the verso. - - Marsha Burns began as a painter, studying at the University of Washington (1963-65) and then at the University of Massachusetts (1967-69). Burns began to work with photography in 1972 while living in Texas, and initially used the medium to experiment with sequential imagery. After relocating to Seattle, however, she began to focus on creating enigmatic figure studies and nudes in her studio. In the following decades Burns continued to photograph in her studio, but she began to introduce more overt social content into her work. Inspired by a visit to Berlin in 1984, Burns started making portraits of young adults who chose to set themselves apart from the mainstream, first in her native Seattle and later in other cities. These portraits were taken on that stay in Berlin and show members and participants at the Werkstatt für Photographie in Berlin. - The photographers and other people portrayed include: Wilmar Koenig, Andrea Petsch, Benoit Maubray, Benny Ochse, Sebastian Rust, Carolina Ochse, Andre Kirchner, Rheinhard Peiler and Hajo Corsten. – In very good condition. - - Sollten Sie detailliertere Zustandsberichte wünschen, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte. / Should you need more detailed condition reports, please contact us.
