Season’s Greetings from Karen Knorr Studio

Thank you to friends, gallerists, collectors for making 2024 a very special year!

 

It has been a busy year for Karen Knorr Studio, with lots of highlights. Spring saw the release of two brand new monographs, Connoisseurs & Academies published by Kehrer and Country Life, published by Stanley/Barker. These two monographs showcased important early works from the 1980s to the early 2000s and were launched at Photo London this year.

In September, Karen Knorr’s major solo exhibition, Intersections opened at Sundaram Tagore Gallery. On view for the first time in New York were select works from Knorr’s brand-new series Scavi (2023–2024). The exhibition also featured 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.

This year’s Paris Photo was also very exciting, with Knorr exhibiting works from Connoisseurs (1986–1990) and Country Life (1983–1985) at the fair with Les Filles du Calvaire and Augusta Edwards Fine Art.

Tate Britain’s, The 80s: Photographing Britain opened last month and runs until 5 May 2025. The exhibition includes a selection of works from Karen Knorr’s Gentlemen (1981–1983).

2025 is shaping up to be a busy year already, with an upcoming solo exhibition in Matmut Centre D’Art Contemporain opening 7 February. Plus, Karen Knorr and Anna Fox are now editing their collaborative US1 road trip project that started in 2016 and is based on Berenice Abbott’s seminal road trip on Route 1 back in 1954. More news to follow! Wishing everyone the all the  best for the New Year.
