Estampa
with Galería Blanca Berlín, Madrid, Spain
17–20 October 2024

A selection of works from Karen Knorr’s new Scavi (2023–2024) series will be available to view in Booth 5B01 the upcoming Estampa art fair in Madrid with Galería Blanca Berlín, Spain.

Estampa is a contemporary art fair that has been held in the autumn of Madrid for 31 years. Its scope of work is the art market in Spain, and its concern is the formation and stabilisation of sustainable collecting for a gallery scene that is constantly growing and updating in the country. The fair is structured around a General Programme of major Spanish galleries and a series of programmes whose curators present the most recent developments in contemporary art practice or focus on more experimental issues that are less common to the general public.

Specialising in photography and the visual arts, Blanca Berlín focuses on the most innovative trends in Spanish and international contemporary photography by established artists and mid-career or emerging talents. Since its founding in 2007, the gallery has become a benchmark for the classical and contemporary photography market.

Karen Knorr: Intersections
Sundaram Tagore Gallery New York
12 September–19 October 2024

Opening Reception with the Artist:
Thursday 12 September, 6–8pm

Sundaram Tagore Gallery is pleased to present Intersections, a solo exhibition of photographs by Karen Knorr, the British-American artist known for her visually rich, conceptually driven images that explore wealth, power and the aesthetics of beauty.

On view for the first time in New York are select works from Knorr’s brand-new series Scavi (2023–2024), set amid the stunning architectural heritage sites of southern Italy. The exhibition also features recent additions to India Song (2008–2023) and Fables (2003–2022) alongside historical analog photographs from Knorr’s groundbreaking work from the 1980s and ’90s.

Throughout her nearly fifty-year career, Knorr has used photography as a method of critical inquiry, employing the opulent palaces of India, monuments of Western Europe and the great houses of Britain to frame issues of power rooted in cultural heritage.

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.
