Garry Winogrand




Garry Winogrand (14 Jan 1928 – 19 March 1984) was born in New York, where he lived and worked most of his life. Till today he counts as one of the most influential photographers with a unique and radical style. Winogrand photographed the visual cacophony of city streets, people, rodeos, airports and animals in zoos. These subjects are among his most exalted and influential work. His series on "Women are beautiful" is one of the most iconic series in the history of photography. In the late 1950s he did start taking pictures on the streets of New York in colour, but did stop it in the early 1960s.

 

From that series of colour photographies he took between 1958-1962) we do hold a set of 36 photographs printed for the first time in 2017 from Kodak slides in occasion of the exhibition "Women on Street: Peter Lindbergh / Garry Winogrand", curated by Ralph Goertz at NRW-Forum Düsseldorf.

 

The digital reproductions are basically from the Garry Winogrand Archive at Center for Creative Photography, University of Arizona and colour corrected by the close friend and companion Joel Meyerowitz. "The colour images reproduced here were transferred from slides in the archive of Garry Winogrand. This work was never printed by the artist, and the reproductions do not represent the finished works by Garry Winogrand."


The IKS PHOTO Collection do contain the 36 prints of "Women in Colour", paper size 32 x 22 cm / picture size 30 x 20cm.
