"Portraits in Series: A Century of Photographs" takes the long view
on the photographic portrait. Reaching back to photography's
beginnings in the daguerreotype and the talbotype, it looks at the
conventions and requirements of Victorian portrait photography, and
tracks the genre's evolution right up to the digital present. A
selection of works from 40 international contemporary portrait
photographers is presented here, among them Diane Arbus, Rineke
Dijkstra, Patrick Faigenbaum, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Lee Friedlander,
Nan Goldin, David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, Roni Horn,
Theodor and Oscar Hofmeister, Peter Keetman, Helmar Lerski, Annie
Leibovitz, Michael Najjar, Nicholas Nixon, Heinrich Riebesehl,
Judith Joy Ross, Thomas Ruff, August Sander, Cindy Sherman and Andy
Warhol. Each of these photographers and artists has almost
reinvented the portrait for the needs of a particular historical
moment, eliciting vast historical and cultural implications from
that seemingly most obvious of subjects, the human body.
