Leda's Seduction, House of the Red Walls, Pompeii, 2023

Karen Knorr: Intersections is an exhibition of photographs by the British-American artist, known for her visually rich, conceptually driven images that explore wealth, power and the aesthetics of beauty.  It is on show from 12th September to 19th October 2024.

On view for the first time in New York are select works from Knorr’s brand-new series Scavi, set amid the stunning architectural heritage sites of southern Italy. The exhibition also features recent additions to India Song and Fables, alongside analog photographs from Knorr’s groundbreaking series Connoisseurs, Academies, Gentlemen and Country Life from the 1980s and ’90s.

Throughout her nearly fifty-year career, Knorr has used photography as a method of critical inquiry employing the opulent palaces of India, monuments of Western Europe and the great houses of Britain to frame issues of power rooted in cultural heritage. Rendered in brilliant color and sumptuous detail, Knorr’s images provoke pointed questions about class, gender, colonialism, exoticism and representation in art and history.
