Ryan McGinley - Celebrating Life 2 November 2007 - 6 January 2008

On 1 November 2007, Foam Photography Museum in Amsterdam launches an exhibition of work by the young American photographer Ryan McGinley (b. 1977). McGinley has been hailed as one of today’s most promising international photographers. Following exhibitions at MOMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and Galerie du jour Agnés b. in Paris, his work can now be seen for the first time in the Netherlands. The show features a selection of warm and endearing images full of youthful elan from his recent work.

For Celebrating Life McGinley photographed a group of friends on a road trip across America, in homage to American predecessors such as Robert Frank and Richard Avedon. In this series he celebrates freedom and escape from the daily grind against the backdrop of the magnificent American landscape.

Celebrating Life was curated by agnès b. (stylist, gallery owner, art collector).
