As she solidified her photographic style, Kuhn created a notable approach to the nude by developing friendships with her subjects, and employing a range of playful visual strategies that use natural light and bucolic settings to evoke a sublime sense of comfort between the human figure and its environment.
Her work is natural, restful, and a reinterpretation of the nude in the canon of contemporary art.
Kuhn’s distinct aesthetic has propelled her as one of the most collectible contemporary art photographers - her work is in private and public collections worldwide and she is represented by galleries across the United States.
Mona Kuhn: Works, the artist’s first retrospective, features images from throughout her career, accompanied by insightful texts by Rebecca Morse, Simon Baker, Chris Littlewood, and Darius Himes.
An interview with Elizabeth Avedon provides insights into Kuhn’s creative process and the ways in which she works with her subjects and locations, and achieves the visual signature of her imagery.
Published to coincide with a traveling international exhibition, opening at Fotografiska in New York, this book introduces Kuhn’s distinct aesthetic to a wide popular audience.
Mona Kuhn. Works is an essential volume for anyone with an interest in the human form in contemporary art. "
155 photographies en couleurs et en noir et blanc, à pleine page, réparties en sept sections couvrant les années 1996 à 2018.
Les albums Native et Bordeaux Series y sont largement représentés.
