  • From Bauhaus to Buenos Aires Press Release
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART PRESENTS THE FIRST MUSEUM SURVEY OF GRETE STERN AND HORACIO COPPOLA, INFLUENTIAL AVANT-GARDE ARTISTS AND FOUNDERS OF MODERN LATIN AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHY From Bauhaus to Buenos Aires: Grete Stern and Horacio Coppola May 17–October 4, 2015 The Edward Steichen Photography Galleries, Third Floor Press Preview: Thursday, May 14, 2015, 9:30–11:30 a.m. NEW YORK, February 3, 2015—The Museum of Modern Art has organized the first major exhibition to examine the individual accomplishments and parallel developments of two of the foremost practitioners of avant-garde photography, film, advertising, and graphic design in the first half of the 20th century: Grete Stern (German, 1904–1999) and Horacio Coppola (Argentine, 1906–2012). From Bauhaus to Buenos Aires: Grete Stern and Horacio Coppola will be on view May 17 through October 4, 2015, and features more than 300 works gathered from museums and private collection across Europe and the Americas—many of which have never before been exhibited in the United States. These include more than 250 vintage photographs and photomontages, 40 works of original typographic design and award-winning advertising materials, 26 photobooks and periodicals, and four experimental 16mm films. From Bauhaus to Buenos Aires is organized by Roxana Marcoci, Senior Curator, and Sarah Meister, Curator; with Drew Sawyer, Beaumont and Nancy Newhall Curatorial Fellow, Department of Photography. Stern and Coppola were united in their exploration of a modernist idiom, yet despite their relationship as husband and wife (from 1935 to 1943) they pursued this goal along remarkably original paths. Having started their artistic careers within the European avant-garde of the late 1920s and early 1930s, Stern and Coppola produced their major body of works in Argentina, where they thrived amid a vibrant milieu of Argentine and émigré artists and intellectuals.

  • Horacio Coppola: Towards an Aesthetic Genealogy
    Horacio Coppola: Towards an Aesthetic Genealogy Eleni Kefala University of St Andrews This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in the journal History of Photography 40:4 (November 2016), available online: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03087298.2016.1236887 Although a milestone in the history of Latin American photography, the work of Horacio Coppola is little known outside Argentina. His unorthodox angles and tilting frames, his attention to industrial and urban themes, and his experimentation with different lenses in the period between 1927 and 1931 were in absolute synchrony with the precepts of European New Vision and New Objectivity photography, and with American straight photography. That Coppola’s visual idiom was in tune with the latest photographic developments in interwar Europe is obvious. What remains unclear is how exactly he achieved that synchrony. Several scholars have wrestled with this question, which nevertheless remains elusive due to lack of evidence of direct contact with European photography prior to his studies at the Berlin Bauhaus in 1932 and his repeated attempts to downplay the influence contemporary photographers had on his work. The article provides a systematic study of Coppola’s aesthetic genealogy and his photographic borrowings through a critical examination of his early pictures and theoretical writings. It teases out possible direct and indirect channels of dialogue with the New Vision, New History of Photography 40:4 (November 2016) 1 Objectivity, and straight photography in the second half of the 1920s, and probes the reasons behind Coppola’s reluctance to admit a connection with contemporary European photography in particular.

    PRESS KIT SUMER 28.10.2017– AND THE 21.1.2018 MODERN FUNDACIÓ PARADIGM JOAN MIRÓ There is a train track in the history of art that goes way back to Mesopotamia. It skips the whole Orient, The Mayas, and American Indians. Duchamp is on it. Cézanne is on it. Picasso and the Cubists are on it; Giacometti, Piet Mondrian, and so many, many more – whole civilizations. Like I say, it goes way in and back to Mesopotamia for maybe 5,000 years, so there is no sense in calling out names.

The exhibition, sponsored by the BBVA Foundation and curated by Pedro Azara, takes as its point of departure the important archaeological findings excavated from sites in what is currently southern Iraq during the interwar period. With some fifteen of these relevant ancient objects from the most prominent public and private collections in Europe, and over one hundred documents, including photographs, books, catalogues and magazines, the exhibition reconstructs the fascinating process these archaeological remains underwent from being perceived as ethnographic artefacts to being appreciated as works of art.

  • El Universo Visual De Horacio Coppola. De La Enigmática Berlín a La Ecléctica Buenos Aires
    El universo visual de Horacio Coppola. De la enigmática Berlín a la ecléctica Buenos Aires Mónica Silvia Incorvaia 1 Categoría: Proyectos de Investigación Disciplinar 1 Master en Cultura Argentina (EDIAC-Fondo Nac. de las Artes, 1997). Profesora de la Universidad de Palermo en el Departamento Audiovisual y el de Investigación y Producción de la Facultad de Diseño y Comunicación. Investigadora fotográfica y documentalista. Autora de videos didácticos sobre fotografías. Autora del libro "La Fotografía. Un invento con historia" (2008. Buenos Aires - Aula taller). Proveedora a editoriales educativas de material fotográfico para libros de texto. Miembro del Comité Ejecutivo Iberoamericano para los Congresos de Historia de la Fotografía. Pertenece a la Facultad de Diseño y Comunicación desde el año 2004. En su actividad en la misma publicó: “Importancia del conocimiento e investigación en la historia de la Fotografía. Reflexiones teóricas” (2005 a) y “Evaluación de Aprendizajes” (2005 b). 1 Abstract: Todo universo visual está compuesto por varias aristas que hacen a su complejidad perceptiva, el entrecruzamiento de imágenes, sensaciones, sentimientos y axiomas constituyen el corpus de una compleja trama surcada por infinidad de situaciones, actos, instantes que confluyen en la mirada final del observador. A través de este derrotero, Horacio Coppola puso de manifiesto estos elementos, fundiéndolos y creando imágenes que hoy pueden ser consideradas como atemporales. Mediante su producción, se puede advertir esa unicidad que estableció entre una vanguardia europea, con su eje en Berlín, en apogeo, y una mirada autóctona, propia de una ciudad como Buenos Aires, a la cual le declaró sus más profundos sentimientos. Estas vivencias que genera a través de la fotografía, del cine y aun de las reflexiones, llevan a pensar en la necesidad de un conocimiento profundo de las artes y de la condición humana para poder plasmar un pensamiento completo, de identidad y de sentidos.

Every portrait is an encounter. The encounter sets the stage, the players interpret one another, they act, the fantasy of an identity is recorded. The portrait is this theater. Critics have dismissed this dialog to put the photographer at center stage, seeking chiefly to repress co-authorships, even sometimes sneering at the sitter’s pose—which, in film, we would call “acting”—in face of the heroic portraitist’s performance. 2 Not alone in portraits—on which her fame is almost unfounded—but throughout her career, Grete Stern persistently appeared in duos. Both in her Berlin years and after her relocation to Buenos Aires, Grete appeared in partnership with uncommon frequency. Duos are central in the photographic arc stretching from Walter Peterhans, her teacher at the Bauhaus, to Etelvina “Cacho” del Carmen Alaniz, her maid and personal assistant in Buenos Aires.

  • Horacio Coppola Y El Extrañamiento De Lo Real
    Natalia Brizuela Horacio Coppola y el extrañamiento de lo real Mirar como aún nunca vistas todas las cosas del mundo. Paul Valéry. Horacio Coppola entre Buenos Aires y la Bauhaus, o los juegos del azar Hay un par de datos sobre la vida de Horacio Coppola en relación a su quehacer y desarrollo fotográfico que han cobrado, en lo que refiere a su biografía y a su lugar como el primer y gran fotógrafo moderno de Argentina, el estatuto de mitos: que estudió en la histórica Bauhaus y que su objeto fotográfico por excelencia fue la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Sobre lo último no hay ninguna duda. Los ejemplos abundan: las dos fotografías de esquinas de Palermo que aparecieron en el Evaristo Carriego de Borges en 1930; el ensayo fotográfico sobre la ciudad en los números 4 y 5 de la revista Sur; el libro Buenos Aires 1936. Visión fotográfica, editado por la Municipalidad de Buenos Aires; las fotografías del libro Historia de la calle Corrientes, de Leopoldo Marechal, editado, al igual que el anterior, por la Municipalidad de la ciudad, pero al año siguiente, en 1937; las fotografías de La Catedral de Buenos Aires, libro publicado en 1943 como parte de las Monografías históricas de las iglesias argentinas. De estos ejemplos, el álbum que edita en 1936 como resultado del pedido del intendente y el secretario de Cultura porteños es la más contundente evidencia material de que el mito del documentalista visual de la ciudad es más bien una verdad, aunque, curiosamente, fue también ese libro el que, en gran parte, construyó el mito.

The article shows that ‘modern’ referred to different and at times contradictory aesthetic and political dimensions of the photographic medium, and not to a single type of practice. By doing this, the article offers a historiographic and theoretical intervention on the question of modern aesthetics in Argentina in particular and in Latin America in general.
