MARTIN SCHOELLER: PORTRAITS

HASTED KRAEUTLER Gallery, NYC

Hasted Kraeutler Gallery, in NYC, had a major retrospective of Martin Schoeller’s photographs earlier this year, organized to coincide with the release of Portraits (teNeues, 2014), a monograph spanning 15 years of the artist's work. The book features a written introduction by Jeff Koons, and is a true milestone for Schoeller. The exhibition included photographs made over the past decade and a half, both black-and-white and color.

Martin Schoeller is a New York-based photographer whose style of "hyper-detailed close ups" is distinguished by similar treatment of all subjects whether they are celebrities or unknown. His most recognizable work are his portraits, shot with similar lighting, backdrop, and tone.
