Photo exhibition Anton Corbijn

World-famous photgrapher Anton Corbijn has an exibition in FOAM Amsterdam (Keizersgracht 609) from 24 June to 1 September 2011.

Anton Corbijn once declared his interest in portraying the pain of creation and the people who struggle with that process. Foam proudly presents Anton Corbijn's latest photographic series devoted to some of the most renowned artists of today.

Uniting an austerity principle with an aesthetic one, these black and white prints strike us both for their precision in capturing the geniality of the portrayed - in sometimes humorous, sometimes intriguing situations -, as well as for their thoughtfulness.

In a quiet but striking manner, these apparently perfect and yet spontaneous shots resume the drama involved in the act of creation and leave room for interpretation. As epitomes of an unselfish, strongly individual and lonely strive, these photos reveal Corbijn´s affectionate and attentive look and his sense of amazement and identification towards others.
