David Seidner: Fragments, 1977–99
January 26–May 6, 2024

“This first-ever survey of the work of David Seidner (1957–1999) will reintroduce this important artist of the 1980s and 1990s. During his lifetime, Seidner was well-known as a fashion photographer for designers such as Yves Saint Laurent—with whom he had an exclusive contract at the age of just 22—Azzedine Alaïa, and Madame Grès, among many others. He was also a prolific editorial photographer for publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, Harper’s & Queen, The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, and international editions of Vogue.

In addition to his commercial and editorial work, Seidner was committed to his own practice. The exhibition will highlight his early fine art photography and fragmented portrait studies, images of groundbreaking dancers and choreographers, portraits of well-known contemporary artists and their studios, and from his final project, abstracted studies of orchids. Seidner was also a frequent contributor to BOMB Magazine as a photographer, interviewer, and guest editor and his key early role at this important publication will be featured. ”
