Tod Papageorge: Dr. Blankman´s New York

From 8 September to 9 November 2018 Galerie Thomas Zander presents new dye transfer prints of Tod Papageorge’s early colour photographs of New York. In vivid images of window displays, political posters and encounters in the city the series Dr. Blankman’s New York (1966-67) captures the zeitgeist and social climate of a time between Pop Art and the Vietnam War. Fifty years after Papageorge took the photographs, they are now exhibited for the first time. The striking intensity of the colour works is highlighted by the dye transfer prints. This high quality printing process is known from the 1960s and ’70, but has become very rare today due to its elaborate production. Papageorge’s New York photographs are not affected by the nervous energy of the metropolis, they are observational, perceptive. The artist is sensitive to the lyrical quality inherent in the pictures, alert to the signs of his times and conscious in the use of his medium.
