Currently on view at Contributed is fashion photographer Michael Thompson's  Iconic Bodies (Sep 8 – Oct 27, 2012)

I apologize for the horrible iphone pic.

I'm a big fan of this gallery. It's located just down the street from my apartment, in a beautiful Stalin-style building on Karl Marx Allee, facing the fountain at Strausberger Platz. They always put on great shows, and I just wish I would have discovered the gallery sooner.


My favourite shots in the show were of Claudia Schiffer for W Magazine. Really beautiful double exposures of angelic Claudia, shot in a style that I don't normally associate with Thompson's, so this was a nice surprise. It was also great to see some of his early images shot on film, pre-retouching and photoshop, where you can still see real pores in the model's skin.

This show had a really nice selection of the photographers older images, and both Michael and Supermodel Veruschka attended at the opening.

Last week we saw the opening of Geschlossene Gesellschaft - Künstlerische Fotografie in der DDR 1949–1989 at Gerlinische Galerie (05.10 to 28.01.2013), a interesting collection of photography from the GDR.

Although the overall theme was a bit loose, nonetheless there were some great images in the show. Jens Rötzsch's color shots specifically reminded me of my childhood growing up in communist Poland.
