The Art of the Archive: Photographs from the Los Angeles Police Department

The Art of the Archive: Photographs from the Los Angeles Police Department The Art of the Archive: Photographs from the Los Angeles Police Department at Kunsthaus Zürich. "...in a city as aware of pictures and imagery as Los Angeles, the photographers working for the Police Department had a more heightened awareness of their own professional and aesthetic standards than their counterparts elsewhere." Also... Photographs by Miroslav Tichý. "...the extraordinary photographs of the Czech artist Miroslav Tichý (*1926). Having chosen to live away from cultural and social centres, between 1960 and 1990 Tichý – exclusively using home-made cameras – created a highly original photographic œuvre of astonishing formal quality. His subject matter: the appeal of the female form."
