Our current summer exhibition: “Review / Preview: Japanese photographs by Osamu Shiihara, Shomei Tomatsu, Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki, Issei Suda, Asako Narahashi, Rinko Kawauchi and Mika Ninagawa.” is reviewed in the localnews paper Koelner Stadtanzeiger:
Mond, Meer und Sterne
[...]
Andere Sichtweisen präsentiert auch die Galerie Priska Pasquer mit ihrer Gruppenausstellung japanischer Fotografen wie Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki, Issei Suda, Asako Narahashi und dem Shootingstar Rinko Kawauchi. Damit gibt die Galerie einen ersten wirklichen Überblick über das eigene Programm zur japanischen Fotografie, die Priska Pasquer bereits seit der Gründung in regelmäßigen Einzelausstellungen zeigt - und mit denen sie ihr gutes Gespür beweist. Zu erwähnen sei allein die Ausstellung von Rinko Kawauchi vor zwei Jahren, deren Rückansicht eines Kindes den Katalog der Internationalen Photoszene Köln zierte und das gleichzeitig Titelbild der diesjährigen Messe Paris Photo sein wird.

We just returned from the Art Basel 39 and three of the artists we exhibited at the fair are currently on show in US and Japanese museums:
August Sander: People of the Twentieth Century
The Getty Center, Los Angeles
May 6 – September 14, 2008
The exhibition shows a selection of 130 portraits from the the Getty’s remarkable collection of 1,200-plus works by August Sander.
Getty publication on August Sander (2000):
People of the Twentieth Century, the collective portrait of German society made by German photographer August Sander, has fascinated viewers from its earliest presentation in a 1927 exhibition and the controversial publication of a selection of 60 images in the book Face of the Time published two years later. Despite Sander’s dedication over five decades to the idea and compilation of this portrait atlas of the German people, the project remained unfinished. Nonetheless, his photographs remain compelling, in part because he chose to categorize his subjects by profession or social class. The images are thus representations of types, as he intended them to be, rather than portraits of individuals.

The Los Angeles Times had a positive review of the August Sander exhibition.
Daido Moriyama “I. Retrospective 1965-2005″ & “II. Hawaii”
Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo

Recently we have added the photographs by the Japanese women artist Asako Narahashi to our gallery program. The first presentation of her work at the Paris Photo fair was quite successful and the press responded very enthusiastic to her series “half awake and half asleep in the water”. Hans-Michael Koetzle wrote in the magazine “Photo International” that Asako Narashashi’s work was “definitely the discovery at this years Paris Photo”.
