Male From the Collection of Vince AlettiText by Collier Schorr.
From the collection of the renowned photography critic and curator Vince Aletti, Male
collects photographs, paintings and artifacts on the theme of the male
body, amassed over the last 30 years. Aletti's collection was first
presented at New York's White Columns gallery in February 2008, and is
a wild blend of anonymous and iconic art and photography from the
nineteenth century to the present, a visual cacophony that
distinguishes Aletti's taste and appetite as a collector. Among the
known photographers in the collection are Alexandr Rodchenko, Nan
Goldin, Marco Breuer, Aaron Siskind, Gary Schneider, Peter Hujar, Bill
Jacobson, McDermott and McGough, Weegee, George Platt Lynes, Larry
Clark, Danny Lyon and Malick Sidibe. Alongside reproductions, a
gatefold page displays the works as they are installed in Aletti's New
York home, and Collier Schorr contributes an essay recording the impact
the collection has had on her own work and view of photography. Schorr
writes: “Art history, written mainly by men, has shied away from the
male figure... Aletti's collection… creates a Cosmos: at once a
microcosm of gay male life, a personal fantasy, and the infinite,
enveloping World.”ISBN: 9788837071172
FORMAT: Hbk, 8.75 x 12 in. / 189 pgs / 100 b&w.
