Grotesque: Natural, Historical, & Formaldehyde Photography 1989
Grotesque: Natural, historical, & formaldehyde photography : Akin & Ludwig … [et al.] by Joan Fontcuberta, Olivia Parker, Joel-Peter Witkin and Paul Den Hollander
Publisher’s Description: Catalogue of the 1989-91 exhibition of works by ten photographers whose works reflect the alienating effects of the museum. “Precisely because of their artistic qualities, these photographers manage to create a new process of signification, whereby the object is lifted out of its anonymous place in the collection.” The exhibition toured to Leiden, Strasbourg, and Frankfurt.
Small exhibition catalogue, with work by Akin & Ludwig, Patrick Bailly Maitre Grand, Joan Fontcuberta, Paul den Hollander, Olivia Parker, Rosamund Purcell, Jurgen Straub, Manuel Vilarino, Roger Wagner, Joel-Peter Witkin, inspired by the bizarre collections in natural history museums. Foreword by Frans Schouten.
