アーサー・トレスは、1940年生まれの写真家。バード・カレッジで美術と哲学を学びながら写真とショートフィルムを撮っていました。卒業後、映画について学ぶためにパリに移りますが、すぐにパリを離れてヨーロッパ、エジプト、日本、インド、メキシコを旅した後、スウェーデンのストックホルムに定住し、ストックホルム民族博物館でカメラマンとして働きます。1968年にプロの写真家として活動するためにニューヨークに戻り、ドキュメンタリーを撮影します。
1970年代、それまでの傍観者としてのストリート・フォトから、もっと個人的なビジョンを表現するために演出的な手法で撮影を始めます。彼の「Open Space in the Inner City(1970)」「Dream Collector(1972)」「Theater of the Mind(1976)」の各シリーズは高い評価を得て、それぞれ芸術助成金の対象として選ばれました。1980年には男性ヌードの写真集『Facing Up, A 12-Year Survey』を出版、同年「Teapot Opera」のシリーズを撮りはじめます。
1986-1988年、彼の大規模な回顧展がイギリス、ドイツ、ベルギーを巡回。メトロポリタン美術館、ポンピドゥーセンターはじめ多くの美術館が彼の作品を所蔵しています。日本では、1986年、1990年、1998年に個展を開催し、今回の個展は15年ぶりとなります。
今回は、プリント作品22点のほか、Galerie VEVAISから出版された写真集『Pointers』を展示販売します。

ARTHUR TRESS
March 12 Tue. - 31 Sun. 2013
Tue.-Sun. 12:00 - 19:00

Arthur Tress was born in 1940. He took his first photographs while still in elementary school in 1952. He attended Bard College where he studied art and art history, world culture and philosophy. While studying, he continued to photograph and began making short films. After traveling through Europe, Egypt, Japan, India and Mexico, he settled in Stockholm, Sweden and worked as a photographer at the Stockholm Ethnographic Museum. In 1968 he moved back to New York with a commitment to becoming a professional photographer. He worked as a documentary photographer for V.I.S.T.A. from 1969-1970.
Arthur Tress was one of the first artists in the 1970s to break way from street photography and develop a more personal vision, which included manipulating that realty in front of him instead of being just a passive observer. Tress exhibited his series "Open Space in the Inner City" at the same Sierra Gallery in 1970 and received a New York State Council on the Arts grant for the series the next year. In 1972 he got a National Endowment for the Arts grant for his "Dream Collector" series. In 1976 he received a second New York State Council on the Arts grant for his "Theater of the Mind" series. In 1980 he published a book on the male nude called, "Arthur Tress: Facing Up, A 12-Year Survey". The same year he began to create his "Teapot Opera" photographs. His major retrospective "Talisman" traveled from 1986-1988, opening in London and then moving to Oxford, U.K., Frankfort, Germany and Charleroi, Belgium.
His work is in the collection of numerous museums and institutions, including the New York Museum of Modern Art, the New York Metropolitan Museum, the George Eastman House, the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Whitney Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Milwaukee Art Museum.
We will exhibit 22 of his prints and his photograph book “Pointers” which was published by Galerie Vevais, Germany.
