The first two decades of Joel Meyerowitz's photographs on display in Reggio Emilia


Transitions, 1962-1981: the first two decades of Joel Meyerowitz's photographic work on display in Reggio Emilia for Fotografia Europea 2018.

As part of Fotografia Europea 2018, Reggio Emilia is hosting the exhibition"Joel Meyerowitz: Transitions, 1962-1981" at Palazzo da Mosto.

The retrospective, curated by Francesco Zanot, presents to the public the early period of the photographic activity of Joel Meyerowitz (New York, 1938) through more than 120 shots that include the street-photography of the early 1960s and the monumental scenarios of the Atlantic coast.



The great revolution-transition accomplished by the American photographer was to capture the streets of New York in 1962 using color film.
In fact, the exhibition builds on these early images, where New York and the United States are the protagonists.

The next five sections of the exhibition show the public the first two decades of the photographer’s career: from the long trip to Europe between 1966 and 1967 to the transition to large-format photography, after a period of study and experimentation with color, and finally to Cape Cod, a landscape depicted in a series of images made beginning in 1976.
