| Summary: | Benjamin Katz, born in Antwerp in 1939 as the son of German Jews, rose to fame with his compelling portraits of artists such as Georg Baselitz, Jörg ƯImmendorff, Josef Beuys, James Lee Byars, Sigmar Polke, and Gerhard Richter. Hardly any exhibition of the so-called German princely painters--Benjamin Katz has been associated with some of them for years--manages without his subtle portraits. But his archive of over half a million negatives from more than sixty years of photographic work still contains plenty of surprises: in addition to conceptual photo series, in particular everyday observations--landscapes, views with traces of industrial decline, architectural details, found objects of everyday poetry, and even the moment fairly absurd. There are many untold stories in the images, quite different connotations are called upon, and the enigmatic wit of the artist invariably comes to the surface. Benjamin Katz's images are primarily narratives without words, connected to humor as a worldly wisdom, and to eloquent elaborations in simple stories.--OCLC OLUC.
