Kuhn, Mona: Evidence. ; 1. Ed.
Steidl, Göttingen. 2004. First edition, first printing. Mint, new, unread; still originally shrink-wrapped in publisher's plastic foil. Hardcover without dust jacket (as issued). Short story by Frederic Tuten. Essay by Gordon Baldwin. 88 pages, 54 colour plates. 292 x 311 mm. The people in Mona Kuhn's photographs are nude but not naked. Completely relaxed before the camera, they give the impression that nothing could clothe them better than their own skin. With a unique style, Kuhn's intimate photographs of both young and old are sensual compositions of skin and wrinkles, light and shadow, gestures and gazes. She creates taughtly composed images which balance sharply rendered portraits against blurred backgrounds to lure the eye and provoke the imagination. A Los Angeles-based artist of German-Brazilian ancestry, Kuhn photographs in naturist communities in France. The models are her friends, and the resulting photographs reveal a comfortable and graceful intimacy between the artist and her subjects. Containing luscious young bodies that suggest the meditative repose of classical statuary, the mood is languorous, projecting an almost Edenic eroticism that is neither "sexy" nor exploitative. Mona Kuhn was born in Germany in 1969, raised in Brazil, and now lives in the US. She received her BA from Ohio State University, before furthering her studies at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1996 and then at The Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles in 1999. Solo exhibitions of her work have been held in Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Munich, Hamburg, Sao Paulo and San Francisco.***************Steidl, Göttingen. 2004. Erstausgabe.

Hardcover with dust jacket. 108 pages, 20 colour plates, 33 tritone plates 265 x 285 mm. Seeking the innermost self in her photographs, Kuhn achieves a mood of intimacy by photographing up close models she knows well. Her photographs are a product of lasting relationships built on mutual affection. In a sense, the images are based on the memory of shared experiences (Julie Nelson).The people in Mona Kuhn's photographs are nude but not naked.

KUHN, Mona. Bordeaux Series. Serie Bordeaux. (Göttingen), Steidl (2011). [Bestell-Nr: 29424]
Neupreis: 58.- 9783869303086 "In a remote landscape near Bordeaux, Mona Kuhn owns a little house: simple, bare and even without electricity. Kuhn travels here each year to entertain family and friends as they drop by. Bordeaux Series contains portraits of these people dear to Kuhn made over the last four years, as well as landscape photographs. Kuhn photographs her subjects in the same room with a red fabric backdrop and a chair, so that the nudity of each sitter is the only indication of his or her idiosyncrasies. A sequel to Kuhn's Native (2009), Bordeaux Series is a sensual exploration of the contemporary nude." (buchhandel.de)
