Düsseldorf, 6 December 2022: Since 19 November, following last year's Peter Lindbergh exhibition, the beautiful Galician port city of A Coruña has been the venue for: "Steven Meisel 1993 A Year in Photographs en A Coruña". It is organised by the Marta Ortega Pérez Foundation (MOP Foundation) and takes place in A Coruña's new museum, Muelle de la Batería space. A Coruña, also called the City of Glass because of its famous glazed balconies, and known for its Torre de Herculés, has been an inspiration for artists, writers and photographers ever since.

Steven Meisel

The year 1993 occupies a special place in the artistic career of New York-born photographer Steven Meisel. For during this period he shot 28 covers for international Vogue editions and over 100 editorials and campaigns with 1990s supermodels such as Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington, with whom his photographic work is forever associated.

Steven Meisel's studio curated the image selection itself, so it covers not only fashion but also culture. 100 portraits are on display, including Linda Evangelista, Carla Bruni, Naomi Campbell, Hamish Bowles, Kyle MacLachlan, Claudia Schiffer, Jaye Davidson, Barbra Streisand, Marlon Richards, Isabella Blow, Amanda Harlech and Twiggy. Steven Meisel is considered one of the most important and prolific fashion photographers of his generation. The focus of his work, whether it is in black and white or colourful, is always an individual connection to his subject. Also significant was his collaboration with Madonna for her book Sex, then No 1 on the New York Times bestseller list ,and which at the time was considered the most successful coffee table book of all time.

Marta Ortega Pérez Foundation (MOP Foundation)

"Steven Meisel 1993 A Year in Photographs" is a project of the Marta Ortega Pérez Foundation (MOP Foundation). Marta Ortega Pérez is the daughter of Amancio Ortega and designated chairperson of the Inditex board of directors. The MOP Foundation focuses on three pillars: A Coruña, photography and fashion. It has an exhibition space on the A Coruña waterfront designed by architect Elsa Urquijo. Elsa Urquijo is the Ortega family's trusted architect. She is the architect of his house in A Coruña, for example, and has just redesigned the concept of Zara Home, in addition to business concepts.

Last year, the museum also hosted the exhibition Untold Stories with works by Peter Lindbergh, which attracted more than 110,000 visitors and gave rise to the creation of the MOP Foundation in 2022.

Neue Ausstellung der Marta Ortega Pérez Foundation: "Steven Meisel 1993 A Year in Photographs en A Coruña"

Vom 19. November 2022 bis zum 1. Mai 2023, Muelle de la Batería s/n, A Coruña, Galicien

Nach dem bahnbrechenden Erfolg der Peter Lindbergh Ausstellung des vergangenen Jahres, wird im neuen Museum der Architektin Elsa Urquijo, eine weitere bedeutende Ausstellung gezeigt, die sich ausschließlich mit dem Jahr 1993 in der Karriere des Fotografen befasst.

——————

Düsseldorf, 6. Dezember 2022: Seit 19. November ist die schöne galizische Hafenstadt A Coruña nach der Peter Lindbergh Ausstellung des vergangenen Jahres Schauplatz von: "Steven Meisel 1993 A Year in Photographs en A Coruña". Organisiert wird sie von der Marta Ortega Pérez Foundation (MOP Foundation) und sie findet statt in A Coruñas neuem Museum, Muelle de la Batería space. A Coruña, auch Stadt aus Glas genannt, wegen den berühmten verglasten Balkonen, und bekannt für seinen Torre de Herculés, war seither Inspiration für Künstler, Schriftsteller und Fotografen.

Steven Meisel

Das Jahr 1993 nimmt einen besonderen Platz in der künstlerischen Karriere des in New York geborenen Fotografen Steven Meisel ein. Denn in diesem Zeitraum schoss er 28 Titelbilder für internationale Vogue Ausgaben und über 100 Leitartikel und Kampagnen mit den Supermodels der 1990er Jahre, wie Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell und Christy Turlington, mit denen sein fotografisches Werk für immer verbunden ist.

Steven Meisels Studio hat die Bilderauswahl selbst kuratiert und so deckt sie nicht nur Mode sondern auch Kultur ab. 100 Porträts sind zu sehen, darunter Linda Evangelista, Carla Bruni, Naomi Campbell, Hamish Bowles, Kyle MacLachlan, Claudia Schiffer, Jaye Davidson, Barbra Streisand, Marlon Richards, Isabella Blow, Amanda Harlech und Twiggy. Steven Meisel gilt als einer der bedeutendsten und produktivsten Modefotografen seiner Generation. Im Mittelpunkt seines Werks, ob es in Schwarz-Weiß oder farbenfroh ist, steht immer eine individuelle Verbindung zu seinem Motiv. Bedeutend war auch seine Kooperation mit Madonna für ihr Buch Sex, damals No 1 der New York Times Bestsellerliste ,und und welches zu diesem Zeitpunkt als das erfolgreichste Coffee Table Book aller Zeiten galt.

The Visit of Trash People Circular Valley Forum Ansgar Van Treeck

Art Calendar / Environment / Business, 19 November 2022

HA Schult's Trash People at the Circular Valley Forum in Wuppertal on 18 November 2022."Check the thing you want to throw away and don't give it away. It is the mirror of yourself. Don't betray your soul." 600 decision-makers from business and politics came together, including environmental activists from the early days such as HA Schult and former Federal Environment Minister Klaus Töpfer, described by the Forum as the "father of the circular economy". The participants were surprised by the Trash People, many of whom had never seen the artworks up close before. But the performance also shows what role artists play. They are not among the decision-makers, but art has the power to unite and emotionalise people, as it did on this evening.

Art Cologne 2022. The results. The art market works. Figures reported. Art Cologne came to an end today. Now taking place in autumn, Art Cologne was well prepared, with a new hall layout, wide plazas, floor strips and security. Around 43,000 people visited the fair to see the curated range of contemporary works, classical modernism and post-war German art. It was questionable how the results would turn out, given the energy crisis and the Ukraine war: Read on if you're interested in numbers:
