Guy Bourdin - "A message for you"

Guy Bourdin is considered to be one of the most daring artists in the world of 20th century visual culture who was responsible for the ground breaking turning point in the world of image-making in the 70s. A singular artist, with an eye of a painter he created fascinating images in terms of narrative, composition, and exploring the realms between the absurd and the sublime.

The exhibition includes modern prints, b/w 1950s vintage prints, polaroids, cinefilms - early 1970s, sketches and texts. The modern prints are a selection mainly from 70s early 80s and show timeless qualities. For the first time this exhibition unveils the wide spectrum of Guy Bourdin’s artistic work.
