MARTIN SCHOELLER: CLOSE UP


Martin Schoeller exhibition at the Naples Museum of Art

German-born photographer Martin Schoeller's remarkable, larger-than-life photographs strip the facades from some of the most recognizable faces of our time. Schoeller’s Close Up invites the viewer to consider the depths of the human face and to discover his subjects' vulnerabilities. The artist's hyper-close portraits push this form of intimacy to unprecedented levels, encouraging us to see the familiar in an unfamiliar way. The exhibition features photographs of famous actors, singers, athletes and politicians along with ordinary people living private lives.

This exhibition is organized and circulated by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions, Pasadena, California.

FLETCHER BENTON: THE ARTIST’S STUDIO


This experiential and interactive exhibition explores the unique attitudes and methods that Benton, a worldrenowned kinetic and constructivist sculptor, applies to his work. The exhibition recreates Benton’s studio, with the images, textures and inspirations that constitute his working environment. Conceived by Benton himself, this exhibition provides a rare opportunity to see inside the artist’s studio – a typically private space – through the artist’s eyes. The exhibition will also include several outdoor sculptures by this artist who received the International Sculpture Center Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award in 2008.
