Erwin Blumenfeld

In the 1940s, Erwin Blumenfeld became one of the world’s top fashion photographers. This first major exhibition to focus on Blumenfeld’s ‘Dutch years’ shows that all the ingredients for his later fame were already in evidence in the work he did in the Netherlands: a love of sexy, feminine models permeated by a slightly surreal and alienating sense of styling. People in 1940s and '50s America...

Gregory Crewdson

Since the mid-eighties, Gregory Crewdson (b. New York, 1962) has created six carefully staged photo-series in which he presents the world as an obscure cinematographic dream.

Koos Breukel

In the course of his career, Koos Breukel (b. The Hague, 1962) has produced portraits of dozens of his fellow photographers, in recognition of them as kindred spirits, sources of inspiration or friends. In this exhibition, Breukel will present a selection of around 55 of these portraits, each paired with a single item from the oeuvre of the photographer depicted. The resulting show will convey a...

Leonard Freed

In this exhibition, the most comprehensive ever of the work of Leonard Freed (1929 – 2006), the viewer is immediately struck by the versatility of this committed photographer.
