Joachim Brohm : PLACES & EDGES

22 Mar-11 May 2013

Overview

Brancolini Grimaldi announces the first ever UK solo exhibition by leading German photographer Joachim Brohm. The exhibition will feature work from throughout Brohm’s 30 year career, from early series including 'Ruhr' (1980 – 1983) and 'Ohio' (1983-84) through to more recent projects such as 'Culatra' (2008 – 2010). The exhibition will also include 'Paradis', an early series, which has never been exhibited in a gallery show before. Joachim Brohm rose to prominence in the early 1980s and was among the first Europeans of his generation to recognise the artistic power of American photographers including William Eggleston, Robert Adams and Stephen Shore. He was also one of the first photographers in Europe to shoot exclusively in colour starting in the late 1970s, connecting the visual possibilities of colour photography with a newly defined “everyday cultural landscape.”
