New York

Works from Karen Knorr’s India Song (2008–2023) are currently showing with Sundaram Tagore Gallery in both London and New York.

Seeing is Believing, open now in the gallery’s London space, presents a collection of paintings, photography and sculpture by gallery artists who share unique perspectives that awaken us to new ways of seeing the world. Through the use of colour, texture, line, shape and form, this global group of artists reimagines existing realties, challenges social constructs and slows down time to create moments of quiet contemplation. Exhibited artists include: Karen Knorr, Miya Ando, Jane Lee, Zheng Lu, Robert Natkin, Robert Polidori, Susan Weil and Robert Yasuda.

Meanwhile, Otherworldly Landscapes in New York brings together new and historicpaintings, photographs and sculptures by gallery artists inspired by the power and beauty of nature. In both abstract and literal ways, each artist uniquely expands beyond the limits of the empirical realm to transport viewers to an imagined reality.

Connoisseurs and Academies
Published by Kehrer, Spring 2024
Plus Upcoming Print Release

Connoisseurs and Academies, two series of works made by Karen Knorr in the mid 1980’s are about to appear in the book Connoisseurs & Academies, published by Kehrer this Spring. Works will be shown at Photo London 2024 with Sundaram Tagore Gallery and there will be book launch with Kehrer and Karen Knorr Studio in London during the period of the fair.

Karen Knorr’s photographic series Connoisseurs & Academies was photographed between 1986 and 2005 with an analog camera, her images let us venture into the intricate world of the history of museums and stately homes, of objects, paintings, connoisseurship, and the structures of academies. The use of animals as an allegorical motif is today embedded in Knorr’s practice, but they first appear in Connoisseurs, where a chimpanzee becomes the Genius of the Place.
