Joel Meyerowitz @ Tate Modern
New York City, 1966
Joel Meyerowitz
20 November 2023 to 3 November 2024
“Born in New York in 1938, Joel Meyerowitz began making photographs on the streets of New York in 1962 alongside friends such as Garry Winogrand and Tony Ray-Jones, and is now celebrated as one of the most important photographers of his generation. He was an early advocate of colour at a time when there was significant resistance to the idea of colour photography as fine art. Posing a question, Meyerowitz used two cameras, one with colour film and one with black and white. He photographed the same scene moments apart sometimes not knowing which camera was which. He says the camera describes what is in front of it, and colour images contained more description. The pairs of photographs in this Collection Display at Tate Modern running from 20 November 2023 to 3 November 2024, state the early argument that Joel made for the use of colour in photography.”
