Artist Portraits from the Würth Collection on View at Art Forum Würth

A new exhibition at Art Forum Würth in Capena brings together photographic portraits of artists from the Würth Collection, curated by François Meyer. Meyer's project stems from a curiosity about the person behind the artwork, aiming to create a collection of artist portraits that establish a dialectical relationship between the photographer's lens and the art world. The show displays works and photographs together, creating a path that complements Meyer's idea of linking the artist to their work. The installation groups artists by the movements they were part of, revealing how photographers have approached the artist portrait over time. This allows visitors to embark on a journey through the art history of the second half of the 20th century, seen through the faces and gazes of those who animated it. The exhibition emphasizes that the enigma of the image lies in the gaze of the portrayed person, that absent presence which is the very definition of an image. The portrait is described as the birth and death of the subject, an infinite memory of itself. The exhibition is on view at Art Forum Würth in Capena.
