The Museum of Modern Art in New york hosts, from May 17 to october 4, ‘Art on camera: Photographs by Shunk-kender, 1960–1971’, an exhibition presenting approximately 25 works, comprising more than 200 individual photographs, selected from the Shunk-kender Photography collection.

This exhibition is based on the recent acquisition by the Museum of Modern Art of a collection of 600 works from the Shunkkender Photography collection, a donation of the roy Lichtenstein Foundation to MoMA, the Getty research Institute, the National Gallery of Art, centre Pompidou and Tate.

Harry Shunk was born in reudnitz, Germany, in 1924, while János (Jean) kender was born in baja, Hungary in 1937. Shunk joined the German army at the beginning of World War II, but he was captured and imprisoned in england. After the war he went to Paris, where he met Jean kender, who had fled to France in 1956 in the wake of the Hungarian uprising. Shunk and kender met in 1957 and began to work together in 1958, signing all their photographs as ‘Shunk-kender’.

They left Paris for canada in 1967 and then relocated to New york city, where they chronicled the art world. In late 1973, they formally dissolved their creative partnership.

Shunk died in his home and studio in Westbeth, in New york city on June 26, 2006. kender died on December 5, 2009, in a welfare hospice in West Palm beach, Florida.

16Shunk-kender

photographed artworks, events, and landmark exhibitions of avantgarde movements of the 1960s and 1970s.

They also produced portraits and collaborations with artists. The pair of photographers has captured some of the most famous images of post-war modern and contemporary art in Paris and New york, focusing on the New york city’s urban, social and artistic scene of the era.

The exhibition ‘Art on camera: Photographs

by Shunk-kender, 1960–1971’ presents a selection of black-and-white photographic work of the artists, including 5 photographs of yves klein’s landmark work ‘Leap into the void’ (1960), widely known through the photomontage created by Shunk-kender, along with 4 additional distinct views of the performance. It also features numerous photographs of yayoi kusama’s astonishing New york performances of 1968, including ‘Mirror Performance’ - an ecstatic gathering of costumed, painted, nude bodies within one of kusama’s mirrored chambers- and multiple iterations of ‘The Anatomic explosion’, in which dancers stripped and posed in front of the New york Stock exchange and other Wall Street locations in an unconventional artistic protest against the vietnam War. The exhibition also presents selections from ‘Pier 18’, a project for which Shunk-kender photographed works by 27 artists, including vito Acconci, John baldessari, Dan Graham, robert Morris and many others. The resulting pictures capture the chaotic energy, playful wit, and systematic processes of the era’s performance and conceptual art in two-dimensional black and white.
