  • Robert Polidori
    ROBERT POLIDORI Cabinet intérieur de Madame Adélaide, (56 C) CCE.01.058, Corps Central - R.d.C, Château de Versailles, France, 1986, archival Pigment Inkjet Print, 50 x 40 inches Robert Polidori’s atmospheric photographs of interiors altered by the passage of time and the people who have lived in them are investigations into the psychological implications of the human habitat. He has shot all over the world: decaying mansions in the formerly splendid metropolis of Havana, the colonial architecture of Goa, India; Beirut’s courtyards showing traces of war; the devastation after the Chernobyl disaster; and urban dwellings in China and Dubai among other countries. In 2006, he was commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to photograph New Orleans in the wake of Katrina. Polidori’s career as a fine-art photographer began in the early 1980s when he gained permission to document the restoration of the Palace of Versailles. Since then, he has returned to the palace several times to take more pictures, and in every one, his conception of rooms as metaphors and vessels of memory is evident. He produces his interiors by means of a single long exposure in natural lighting. His tonally rich and seductive photographs are the product of a view camera, long hours waiting for the right light, and careful contemplation of the camera angle. Polidori uses large- format sheet film, which he believes produces superior images to digital photography. Robert Polidori won the World Press Award in 1998 and the Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Magazine Photography in 1999 and 2000.

  • Robert Polidori Selected Press Pa Ul Kasmin Gallery
    ROBERT POLIDORI SELECTED PRESS PA UL KASMIN GALLERY Mesmerising Photographs of Frescoes in a Florentine Monastery Architectural photographer Robert Polidori turns his lens to the paintings of Fra Angelico in Florence – to beguiling effect Daisy Woodward March 19, 2018 The Mocking of Christ by Fra Angelico, Cell 7, Museum of San Marco Convent, Florence, Italy, 2010© Robert Polidori, Courtesy Paul Kasmin Gallery Canadian-American photographer Robert Polidori has devoted much of his esteemed career to exploring the effects of time, nature and human intervention on buildings and landscapes. His works are both poetic and melancholy, his treatment of spaces reverent. He views rooms as “memory theatres”, and deftly employs his medium to elevate their status to that of precious relics, regardless of their current condition. His previous projects have spanned devastated New Orleans homes in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, through to the crumbling buildings of Havana, majestic in their faded splendour. Earlier this month, a 2010 series of Polidori’s photographs depicting the interior of the Convento di San Marco in Florence went on display at Paul Kasmin 293 & 297 TENTH AVENUE 515 WEST 27TH STREET TELEPHONE 212 563 4474 NEW YORK, NY 10001 PAULKASMINGALLERY.COM PA UL KASMIN GALLERY Gallery in New York, allowing audiences the chance to enjoy the full power of the image-maker’s large-scale works in person. The Dominican-monastery-turned-museum invited Polidori to lens the celebrated frescoes of Renaissance painter and Dominican monk Fra Angelico which adorn many of its walls. Considered some of the most important paintings of the early Renaissance, these mesmeric, pastel-hued works, including the painter’s iconic depiction of The Annunciation, were designed not merely as story-telling devices, as was the purpose of paintings in the previous Byzantine period, but as tools for reflection.
