July 31 - August 15, 2021
These images are by turns soothing, and haunting and yet somehow familiar. Von Hohenberg has discovered a perspective that was in front of us all along, which we couldn't quite isolate until he presented it to us. - Jay McInerney, from the Foreword MM Fine Art is pleased to present a solo photography exhibition of the work of Christophe von Hohenberg, celebrating the release his new book, The White Album of the Hamptons. Von Hohenberg’s black-and-white photographs of the Hampton beaches give the impression of squinting against the glaring summer sun—bleached out details blur and faint gestures carve out the presence of figures against the vast oceanic expanse. Allowing himself to be “blinded by the light” von Hohenberg has found harmony on the beaches of the Hamptons, a place that cleanses, renews, and soothes. |
