Photographs from the Thomas Koerfer Collection

Postfuhramt
The naked body is one of the oldest and most fascinating motifs in art. Artists of past centuries felt bound by the conventions of ideal beauty in their representations of the unclothed body. In the 20th century, however, the traditional academic poses are becoming ever more relaxed and classic nudes are becoming naked bodies. In contemporary art and particularly in photography, the realistically portrayed body with its needs and desires has developed into a projection plane for the artistic idea.
C/O Berlin presents for the first time publicly and especially for the guests of the Berlin art fairs in fall over 150 photographs from the Thomas Koerfer collection. Renowned artists including Nobuyoshi Araki, Nan Goldin, Robert Mapplethorpe and Cindy Sherman will provide a panorama of the naked body is discreet and pornographic, repelling and enticing.
