pt 6

On the first-floor, visitors will encounter works by photographer Elger Esser, including one of his poetic, almost monochromic landscapes, captured in Enfeh, northern Lebanon; as well as a 1997 photocollage by Daniele Buetti from his Looking for Love series, in which he alters reproductions of images from fashion magazines, etching scars and tattoos on the models’ skin from the back of the photos. These are paired with a 1985 painting by MARWAN, a Damascus-born artist who lived in Berlin and has been represented by the gallery since 1987. We still represent his estate today, and his work symbolically bridges our early and later programs.
