A Who's Who of photographic art
TOP MAGAZINE HAMBURG APRIL 2024
Jürgen Schadeberg, Helmut Newton, Horst P. Horst, FC Gundlach - these are just some of the top-class artists whose works have been on display at the Roschlaub Gallery on Mittelweg since March 15th.
Since mid-March, Galerie Roschlaub and Galerie Capitis have been jointly exhibiting 25 works in their Hamburg-Rotherbaum location. The photographs—all originals, black-and-white portraits—come from private collections and are now for sale. The most valuable, Horst P. Horst's "Mainbocher Corset," is valued at around €100,000. Among the exhibited works is another equally famous and spectacular Hamburg image: the St. Michael's Church handstand, photographed by Jürgen Schadeberg. Ten of Schadeberg's photographs are for sale, along with five by Horst P. Horst and three by Helmut Newton. In addition to the aforementioned photographers Gundlach and Schadeberg, works by Burt Glinn, Hansel Mieht, Norman Parkinson, and Arthur "Weegee" Fellig will also be featured. "Such a high-caliber exhibition with works by true masters is rare," says gallery owner Kirsten Roschlaub.
“We are delighted to offer connoisseurs of timeless photographic art the opportunity to acquire these true rarities for their collections.” Photographer Anatol Kotte, creative force behind the co-exhibiting Capitis Gallery, has also contributed one of his images to the exhibition. It will be on display at the Roschlaub Gallery until May 31, 2024.
