As evidence that the visual arts are flourishing in the digital age, esteemed London gallery Michael Hoppen is launching its first online-only exhibition. A new experiment for the gallery, the virtual showcase comprises a series of 30 first edition photogravures by 1920s German photographer, sculptor and design teacher Karl Blossfeldt.
Hoppen, who recently staged 'The Lady Vanishes' – a special exhibition of photographic works from Wallpaper's collaboration with Noé Sendas and Jan Lehner (W*192) – tells us, 'Karl Blossfeldt is one of the best kept secrets in the art world. His work never seems to tire and it continues to speak in an extraordinary clear voice across generations of artists, designers and architects. For this reason, it was an easy decision to show him online as people immediately recognise when something is "right".'
