Cardi Gallery Milan<\/strong>\u00a0is pleased to present\u00a0IRVING PENN<\/strong><\/em>, a comprehensive exhibition of the artist\u2019s oeuvre that offers the\u00a0opportunity to experience the breadth of Irving Penn\u2019s artistic practice for the first time in over 30 years in Milan,<\/strong>\u00a0Italy.<\/p>\n

Spanning over two floors of exhibition space<\/strong>, the show explores Penn\u2019s signature\u00a0fashion photography\u00a0<\/strong>and beyond, including a separate first floor solely dedicated to the\u00a0artist\u2019s work related to Italy<\/strong>. Presenting a remarkably diverse body of\u00a0work stretching from the 1940s to the 1990s<\/strong>, this exhibition showcases photographs from nearly all chapters of Penn\u2019s seminal artistic career. In\u00a0collaboration with The Irving Penn Foundation<\/strong>,\u00a0IRVING PENN\u00a0<\/em>will take place\u00a0September 9\u2013December 22, 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Considered to be one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century, Irving Penn (1917\u20132009)\u00a0radically modernised photography as a medium<\/strong>, creating a canon that would manifest a rich and influential legacy of commercial and personal work. Mentored by the legendary photographer and art director Alexey Brodovitch, Penn began working as a commercial artist for\u00a0Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/em>\u00a0in the late 1930s and later for American\u00a0Vogue\u00a0<\/em>in the early 1940s. Encouraged by Alexander Liberman, editorial director at\u00a0Vogue<\/em>, he committed to professional photography in 1943.<\/p>\n

Over the next sixty years, Penn photographed\u00a0more than 150 covers for\u00a0Vogue<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and produced thousands of ground-breaking editorials celebrated for their formal simplicity and use of natural light. Penn\u2019s artistic contributions for\u00a0Vogue\u00a0<\/em>formed an unprecedented legacy which, in the words of the magazine\u2019s Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour,\u00a0<\/em>\u201cchanged the way people saw the world and our perception of what is beautiful\u201d<\/strong>. Breaking all conventions, Penn approached photography as an artist, expanding the medium\u2019s creative potential at a time when the photograph was primarily understood as a means of communication.<\/p>\n

The exhibition brings together remarkable masterpieces that situate Penn\u2019s work in the context of various artistic, social, and political subjects. On display are some of his most iconic motifs, ranging from captivating portraits of celebrities and cultural groups, to imposing images of street debris and surreal still-lifes. On a constant quest for authenticity,\u00a0IRVING PENN\u00a0<\/em>introduces the artist as one who took inspiration from familiar objects, that sought beauty in environments of reduced noise and minimal aesthetic, resulting in a distilled visual language characterised by arresting elegance.<\/p>\n

Works such as\u00a0Dahomey Children\u00a0<\/em>(1967) or\u00a0Early Hippies\u00a0<\/em>(1967) on the gallery\u2019s ground floor document Penn\u2019s deep exploration of cultures and communities on the fringes of modernised society. Juxtaposed with a selection of beauty and fashion editorials produced for\u00a0Vogue<\/em>, such as the iconic\u00a0Black and White Vogue Cover\u00a0<\/em>(1950) and\u00a0Bee\u00a0<\/em>(1995), this grouping encapsulates the artist\u2019s dominating commercial practice that remained groundbreakingly innovative over many decades.<\/p>\n

United on the first floor of the gallery are works dedicated to Italy. Ranging from Penn\u2019s classical portraits of some of the country\u2019s most prominent figures of the 20th century\u2014such as artist\u00a0Giorgio De Chirico\u00a0<\/em>(1944), singer\u00a0Luciano Pavarotti\u00a0<\/em>(1980) and actress\u00a0Sophia Loren\u00a0<\/em>(1962)\u2014to photographs made in Italy during the Second World War and upon his return in 1948 while on assignment with writer Edmonde Charles-Roux, this collection represents a formative body of work that would, in Penn\u2019s own words, make him \u201ca professional photographer.\u201d Illuminating the importance of Italy within the lensman\u2019s biography, this exhibition offers a unique focus on his admiration for the country.<\/p>\n

Working amid a fast-changing culture and society, Penn produced exacting photographs that proved timeless throughout some of the 20th century\u2019s most tumultuous periods. Penn\u2019s masterful use of lighting and photographic materials, highlighted by his revival of the platinum-palladium process and experiments with gelatine silver printing, would lend each of his works an incredibly distinctive character with unprecedented detail and texture.\u00a0IRVING PENN\u00a0<\/em>underlines this unique visual language that draws on signs revealing the real world and its truths, situating the photographer as a defining stylistic genius whose legacy has greatly influenced our contemporary culture.<\/p>\n

Cardi Gallery would like to thank Pace Gallery for their generous collaboration on this exhibition.<\/p>\n
