Lyndsey Ingram presents ‘Kasmin’s Camera’: an exhibition of over 100 photographs taken by the pioneering gallerist John Kasmin from the 1960s and ’70s that chronicle the launch of the Kasmin Gallery and the early careers of artists including David Hockney, Howard Hodgkin, Anthony Caro, Gillian Ayres, Barnett Newman, Jules Olitski, Frank Stella, Helen Frankenthaler, Kenneth Noland and others.
Kasmin gave many of these artists, including David Hockney, their first show and was an early champion of their work. In the case of the American Abstract Expressionists, he introduced their work to the UK. These photographs also include images of friends, such as Celia Birtwell, Ossie Clark and the explorer and writer Bruce Chatwin, with whom Kasmin travelled widely. This show – to mark Kasmin’s 90th birthday year – is the first time most of these images have ever been seen. Some have been available through Camera Press for use in scholarly publications but none has ever been printed and exhibited and all come directly from Kasmin’s archive. These images are printed from Kasmin’s original negatives and are signed, numbered and available in small editions.
