Nicole Klagsbrun is pleased to present Jonathan Silver and Herbert Matter at the 5th edition of Independent 20th Century, Thursday, September 24–Sunday, September 27 at the Breuer. The presentation brings together sculptures and drawings by American artist and art historian Jonathan Silver (1937–1992) with black-and-white photographs by Swiss-American photographer and designer Herbert Matter (1907–1984). Their distinct bodies of work enter into dialogue through sustained but fundamentally different engagements with Alberto Giacometti
(1901–1966): while Matter revealed new dimensions of Giacometti’s sculpture through photography, heightening its frontality, material presence, Silver transformed Giacometti’s formal and psychological intensity within a fragmented and mythologically charged language of his own.

Pictured: (1) Jonathan Silver, Medea, 1985. (2) Jonathan Silver, Small Venus, 1980. (3) Jonathan Silver, St. Cecilia, 1983. (4) Jonathan Silver, Diana, 1987.

🎞️ last night, we celebrated the final week of our Cameron exhibition by presenting Cameron’s first screen appearance: the black-and-white, initial cut of Kenneth Anger’s Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954), which features an astonishing score by Harry Partch. Cameron as the Scarlet Woman was no less transfixing without her legendary red hair, and the film reflected majestically on the drawings installed on the walls. This is your last chance to spend time with the show! The gallery will be open with regular hours until Saturday October 11, and then will be open by appointment.
