Description

Over the course of four decades, Sondra Gilman and Celso Gonzalez-Falla have put together a collection of photographs thatis widely recognised as among the World's most important private ones.

Spanning the entire history of the medium, it lackshardly any of the names that forged this history.

It comprises some of the most famous masterpieces by artists such as EugeneAtget, Robert Adams, Walker Evans, or Robert Mapplethorpe as well as works by contemporary photographers such as CindySherman, Hiroshi Sugimoto, or Thomas Struth. The Musee de l'Elysee in Lausanne is one of the world's leading museums entirely dedicated to photography.

A highlight in themuseum's 2018 exhibition program is the show The Beauty of the Lines, featuring some 120 works from the Gilman Gonzales-Falla collection.

The coinciding book presents the selected images in visual confrontations rather than just chronologically,offering a key to their physical quality and inviting the reader to question his or her own individual experience of sensitiverelationship to the photographic image.

Published alongside the images are an essay exploring the range and significance ofthe collection and a conversation with Sondra Gilman and Celso Gonzalez-Falla.
