Osborne Samuel and Beetles + Huxley are pleased to announce their annual collaborative photography exhibition, bringing together over 150 prints by leading artists spanning from 1910 to the present day.
About
The exhibition will trace the history of photography from its early developments through its rise in status as both creative and documentary medium; from war photography to contemporary fashion imagery.
The Photographers will be a joint exhibition taking place in both galleries and covering themes from portraiture and fashion to photojournalism and industrial landscape photography. Osborne Samuel will host limited editions of seminal works by the great names of early black and white photography, such as Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bill Brandt and Melvin Sokolski, through to contemporary classics including The Kate Moss Portfolio by Mario Testino, Annie Leibovitz, Terry Richardson and Bruce Weber. Beetles + Huxley will offer a more contemporary panorama, showcasing the creations of cutting edge artists from their roster, such as Ren Hang and Zhang Kechun.
The exhibition is ultimately a celebration of photography; while the unique capacity of the medium to capture a fleeting instant is demonstrated in the exhibition, The Photographers also shows photography’s versatility and infinite hues, from the first manipulations of Edward Weston to the almost abstract environmental compositions of Alex MacLean. The exhibition invites visitors to rethink the possibilities of a medium that has become an everyday means of expression, and to enjoy a selection of some of the greatest works in the photographic medium of the last century.
