‘The photograph is completely abstracted from life, yet it looks like life. That is what has always excited me about photography’ Richard Kalvar
A member of the celebrated Magnum agency, Richard Kalvar (b. 1944) has spent nearly five decades building up a diverse body of work characterized by a finely honed sense of observation. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he has travelled all over the world, capturing fleeting details and moments of absurdity. This survey presents about 60 of best photographs, all of which offer glimpses into untold stories, reflecting an idiosyncratic approach to the act and practice of photography.
