Jackson Fine Art is pleased to open a new line-up of exhibitions, its second in a new and expanded location, unified by their exploration of classical subjects and shared art-historical references but unique in the method by which they allow these common threads to collide with the contemporary. 

Mona Kuhn’s multidisciplinary Kings Road combines the artist’s characteristic study of form — both human and architectural — with her emerging use of video installation and solarized silver gelatin to create a wholly immersive and partially imagined investigation of Rudolph Schindler’s groundbreaking 1922 residence. 

Icons pairs influential early fashion photographer George Hoyningen-Huene with one of the most celebrated contemporary photographers within this tradition, Bastiaan Woudt. The influence of Surrealism — direct for George Hoyningen-Huene, who worked with Man Ray and photographed for Elsa Schiaparelli; material for Kuhn, whose solarized prints borrow their method from Ray, Lee Miller, André Breton, and others; and referential for Woudt, in his experimental blending of elements of Surrealist and mid-century fashion photography with 21st century technique — haunts each of the exhibition spaces. 
 
Also on view will be a selection of works by Slovakian photographer Mária Švarbová, whose bright and playful images of nearly-identical bathers bely a deeper commentary on the controlled simplicity of her childhood in the Eastern Bloc. Her Swimming Pool series has been published in two monographs and earned her a 2018 Hasselblad Masters Award in Fine Art Photography. 

On Friday, June 9th from 6 to 8pm, we’ll hold an opening reception with Mona Kuhn in attendance. On Saturday, June 10th at 11am, join us for an artist talk and gallery walk with Mona Kuhn. Books will be available for sale and signing. On Tuesday, June 27th from 6 to 8pm, we’ll host a second reception with Bastiaan Woudt in attendance.
