Brassaï at Marlborough New York

Brassaï
December 1, 2020–January 30, 2021
Marlborough New York
545 West 25th Street, 2nd floor

Marlborough New York is pleased to present Brassaï, an exhibition of groundbreaking photographs by the lauded Franco-Hungarian artist that redefined the collective perception of nocturnal Paris and its underground subcultures during the 1930s. Comprising 39 photographs printed by the artist, the exhibition culls some of his most iconic images from the series Paris by Night, Secret Paris, Paris by Day, and The Artists of My Life.

This is the first time in nearly forty years that Marlborough will showcase Brassaï’s photography. Anne Wilkes Tucker, author of Brassaï: The Eye of Paris (Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1999), has contributed a new essay for a fully illustrated publication that accompanies the exhibition.
