Paris: Morten Andenæs

In November 2014, coinciding with Paris Photo, a collaborative Norwegian project opens in
Paris showing a solo exhibition with photographer Morten Andenæs,
in addition to the launch of Objektiv #10 and an artist talk between Andenæs and Lucas Blalock.

Curated by MELK and Fotogalleriet, the exhibition green apples / blue sky is the first
presentation of Morten Andenæs’ photographic works in France.

The exhibition title corresponds literally to two of the photographs on show; blue sky and green apples. The indexical nature of the title, revealing nothing but what experience subsequently will show, sets the stage for a short circuit. Simultaneously this recurring gesture mirrors photography’s condition as a reiteration or addition to reality that points to something reality is not able to articulate on its own. By explicitly stating that which otherwise might be incited through our desires and fantasies, Andenæs thwarts our capacity to freely project onto the photographs.

London: The Photographers 2014

The Photographers 2014 is a collaborative exhibition by two leading London galleries: Osborne Samuel and Beetles+Huxley. Running 20 November - 23 December 2014, the exhibition crosses both galleries to showcase over 150 important photographs from the 19th century to the present day, celebrating the variety and influence of photography through the ages.

The exhibition displays a range of arresting and iconic imagery from all periods of this groundbreaking medium, including works by legendary photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson, Dorothea Lange, Horst P Horst, Walker Evans, Cecil Beaton, Robert Mapplethorpe, Lord Snowdon, Brassai, Bill Brandt, Man Ray, Irving Penn, William Klein, Cecil Beaton, Bruce Davidson, Berenice Abbott, Margaret Bourke White and Edward Steichen.

Previously unseen self-portraits by American street photographer Vivian Maier will be exhibited for the first time.

Also presented is a rare and unusual group of exploration photographs, including the work of travel photography pioneer Herbert Ponting, as well as Frank Hurley’s photographs of the Shackleton Expedition. Featured alongside these are original, rare NASA photographs from seminal space missions.


The exhibition displays significant works by mid-20th century French masters such as Willy Ronis, Brassai, Robert Doisneau and Henri Cartier-Bresson, whose focus on capturing the “decisive moment” exemplifies the innovation of this influential period of photography.

Contemporary photographs include those with a particular focus on the natural world, with photographers including Edward Burtynsky, Michael Wold, Alex Maclean, Justine Blau and Michael Najjar examining mankind’s impact on the landscape. Powerful works by important contemporary practitioners Ruud van Empel, Susan Derges, Julie Blackmon, Nadav Kander and Mona Kuhn are also presented.

Renowned for its innovative and high-level programming, Paris Photo is a key event for collectors and art world professionals, as well as photography enthusiasts. Extensive programming includes special exhibitions for the following sectors:

In partnership with the Aperture Foundation, Paris Photo has established the Paris PhotoBook Awards, celebrating the ever evolving role of the photobook in the narrative of photography. Prize categories include: First Photobook, Photobook of the Year, and Catalogue of the Year.
