MONDRIAAN FOUNDATION, AMSTERDAM, SUPPORTS RINEKE DIJKSTRA: A RETROSPECTIVE

The Guggenheim is grateful to the Mondriaan Foundation, Amsterdam, for generous support of Rineke Dijkstra: A Retrospective, the first mid-career survey of Dutch artist Rineke Dijkstra to be shown in the United States. Advancing deeper understanding of the artist’s work and contributions to recent photographic practice, the show presents more than 70 pieces by Dijkstra, including all of her major photography series and video works, and is accompanied by a 240-page catalogue. Funding from the Mondriaan Foundation is helping to defray the costs of this scholarly publication that represents the first comprehensive monograph on the artist produced to date. The catalogue features essays by the exhibition’s curators, Guggenheim Senior Curator of Photography Jennifer Blessing and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Senior Curator of Photography Sandra S. Phillips; interviews with the artist and subjects of her photographs and videos; and 173 illustrations, including previously unpublished documentary illustrations. The catalogue enriches the presentation of Rineke Dijkstra: A Retrospective, on view at the Guggenheim from June 29 through October 3, 2012 following its showing at SFMOMA in spring 2012, and serves as a lasting and definitive resource about this important artist.
