Joel Meyerowitz

is not only a force of talent, but also a force of nature! He is ubiquitous, and we are fortunate, particularly in Europe, where we have the opportunity to experience his work firsthand through two exhibitions in Spain and one in the United Kingdom.

Greece, 1967.
 
In 1966, at the age of 28, Joel Meyerowitz embarked on a year-long road trip around Europe.
 
During this period, Meyerowitz settled in Málaga for six months, where he befriended the Escalona family, one of the traditional flamenco families in the city.
 
While in Málaga, Meyerowitz took 8.500 photographs and captured hours of high-quality sound recordings of live flamenco. This unique experience, which resulted in an extraordinary photographic record of Spain during the height of the Francoist dictatorship, was hugely influential for Meyerowitz and had a long-lasting impact on his signature style of photography.
 
Meyerowitz is now recognized as one of the leading photographers of his generation who redefined how reality can be captured and communicated with a camera.
 
Featuring vintage and large-format prints in color and black and white, the exhibition will present an in-depth account of Meyerowitz’s travels through England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, France, Spain, Germany, Turkey, Greece and Italy, focusing on the significance of his extended stay in Málaga.
 
The exhibition will also feature a selection of original prints from his first solo exhibition at MoMA in 1968.
 
Curatorship by Miguel López-Remiro Forcada, the Artistic Director of the Museo Picasso Málaga.
