BENJAMIN SEBBAN GALLERY Le grand artiste Christo nous a quitté à New York le 31 Mai dernier. Si nous aimons l'imaginer recouvrir de sa célèbre toile l'escalier qui l'emmène rejoindre sa bien aimée complice de toujours, Jeanne Claude, cette nouvelle ne nous en a pas moins profondément émue.

Frank Horvat « L'idée de faire référence à des chefs-d'œuvre m'est probablement venue d'une pensée qui m'avait souvent traversé l'esprit - dans le métro, par exemple - en jetant un regard sur une femme qui me semblait particulièrement belle, mais qui ne semblait pas consciente de sa beauté, et qu'un rédacteur de mode ne m'aurait jamais permis de photographier pour un magazine, bien que je puisse facilement l'imaginer dans un tableau de Léonard de Vinci, Rubens ou Ingres. Je les ai visualisées dans le costume et avec la coiffure d'une de ces époques, ou même nues dans une scène mythologique : en partie parce que j'aime fantasmer sur les époques passées, mais plus encore parce que, en tant que photographe, je préfère découvrir des beautés inattendues, plutôt que de célébrer celles qui, à mes yeux, sont quelque peu dévalorisées par l'admiration générale. » — Frank Horvat Frank Horvat est né en 1928 à Abbazia, Italie. Son parcours de photographe est influencé, en 1950, par une rencontre avec Henri Cartier-Bresson, qui le détermine à entreprendre un voyage de deux ans en Asie, en tant que photojournaliste indépendant. Les images en noir et blanc qu'il y réalise lui valent ses premiers succès - notamment la participation à l'exposition « The Family of Man », au Museum of Modern Art de New York. Dans les années 1960, il acquiert une renommée internationale par ses photographies de mode innovantes. Son œuvre éclectique allie photojournalisme, mode, paysage et portrait, en passant par la photographie de rue et des essais sur la nature et la sculpture. Ses photographies font aujourd'hui partie des collections de musées prestigieux : Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris, Centre Pompidou, Paris, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Victoria and Albert Museum, Londres, Musée Galliera, Paris, Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris... À paraître en octobre 2020 : Frank Horvat aux Éditions Xavier Barral. |

Frank Horvat Vraies Semblances, 1981-1986 18 June – 10 October 2020 Galerie Lelong & Co. "The idea of referring to famous master-pieces probably came to me from a thought that had often crossed my mind – on the subway, for instance – when glancing at some woman who struck me as particularly beautiful, but who didn't seem conscious of her beauty, and whom a fashion editor would never have allowed me to photograph for a magazine, although I could easily imagine her in a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, Rubens or Ingres. I visualised them in the costume and with the hairstyle of one of those periods, or even naked in some mythological scene: partly because I like fantasising about bygone ages, but more because, as a photographer, I prefer discovering unexpected beauties, rather than celebrating those that, in my eyes, are somewhat devalued by general admiration. I have to admit that in the beginning I wasn't a great connoisseur of classical painting. But little by little, as this game of associations went on and as the project took shape, I began to revisit museums and to assemble a small library of art books, which in turn helped to feed my phantasies."

Richard Serra Nouvelles Estampes 12 March – 24 July 2020 Galerie Lelong & Co. Richard Serra (San Francisco, 1939) is one of the great contemporary sculptors, whose determination to build a substantial, rigorous (always black) and innovative body of engraved work is particularly remarkable. Having explored the resources of lithography then screen-printing in the 1970s and 1980s, for the last 30 years he has focused on etchings in small, medium and then especially in very large format. The essence of Serra's work as a sculptor is to transmit to the viewer a sensation of unstable equilibrium between a weight and its proportions. By constantly inventing, with his Californian printers, new procedures, new inks or mixtures and new methods of printing, he has brilliantly succeeded in transposing this research in the two dimensions of etching. In Spring 2018, Galerie Lelong & Co. presented the immense and imposing Rift works. This new exhibition will present the recently completed Right Angle from 2019, among others. |

Rythmes and Vibrations The gallery will be closed from July 30 to August 30 included. Right from the start of abstract art, there was a split between two lines, indicating seemingly opposed tendencies: on the one hand a structured and economical art, often proscribing curves, seeming to privilege the cerebral and programmatic, and on the other, a warmer and more informal art in which spontaneity and sensitivity imposed their rhythm. Yet these two lines have never ceased overlapping and enriching each other. In the case of many painters, they co-exist or succeed one another. Etel Adnan |

Marc Desgrandchamps Barcelona 18 June – 24 July 2020 Galerie Lelong & Co. Marc Desgrandchamps, born in 1960, studied at the Fine Arts Academy of Paris. In the 90s he breaks free from the opposition between figurative and abstract art characteristic of the great majority of XXth century pictorial narratives. For although his work is figurative, the artist refuses to name it as such. His works are not nudes, not landscapes, nor still-life studies: they transcend categories. They play with the interpenetration of forms and subject, solely underscoring the ambiguity of time and space. Scenes play out against the depth of the painting, time is suspended and references to painting, photography and films run through his work. |

| NORBERT BISKY - DATES Mar 14-May 23, 2020 Desmadre Berlin 14 MARS - 9 MAI, 2020 Galerie Templon 28, rue Grenier Saint-Lazare Paris https://www.templon.com/ On his first return to Paris since 2014, German painter Norbert Bisky plunges us into the heart of his native capital city: the wild Desmadre Berlin of the inter-war period, a world of hedonism and anarchy whose traces are still to be found on the capital's walls today. In this new series, Bisky has chosen to swap the pastel blue of his skies for darker hues and the luminous smiles of his models for more serious expressions. His baroque scenes feature bronzed models who bring to mind the communist propaganda which marked the artist's youth in GDR. Alongside them are the night birds, hipsters and outsiders who populate the streets of Berlin Friedrichshain every evening, drifting among the post-industrial facades that characterise the district, a favourite haunt of the city's denizens of the night. |
