New York : Scarlet Muse, Photography and Prostitution

Preview

Scarlet Muse is an alluring look at the intimate relationship between photography and prostitution. Since the invention of photography the purveyors of prostitution have served as inspiration and muse for the creation of memorable, compelling imagery. The exhibition traces this unlikely romance from it’s beginning to current day and features over 20 photographers.

At first glance the study of such a topic might seem like an exploration of otherness in an illicit and seedy world but it is quite the opposite. The images included in the exhibition frequently reveal deep personal connections and great affection in ultimately loving relationships. While many of the photographs provide a glimpse into the most intimate activities they also tell stories of the individuals pictured and open a door to countless insights of human behavior.

Exhibiting Artists: Merry Alpern, Larry Clark, Danny Lyon, Chris Arnade, Jeff Cowen, Malerie Marder, Eugene Atget, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Bob Mizer, George Awde, Danny Fields, Pedro Slim, Amos Badertscher, Benjamin Fredrickson, Scot Sothern, Auguste Belloc, Anthony Friedkin, Christer Stromholm, J. Bellocq, Jane Hilton, Brassai, Leon Levinstein
