Event details
What’s in a face? contains 45 photographs from the Art Gallery of NSW collection and focuses on crucial points in the history of photographic representations of the human face. This exhibition shows the studio portraiture of early photography and continues through to the contemporary practices of today. Works by Australian photographers such as Olive Cotton and Max Dupain are placed in an international context represented by Ben Cauchi, Edward Weston, Iwao Yamawaki and the German photographer Loretta Lux, whom we interviewed recently.
