This exhibition at A Foundation, the second large solo Metzker exhibition to be held in Europe (after Light Lines, at the Musée de l’Élysee in Lausanne in 2008), celebrates the artist with 114 photographs ten years after his death on 9 October 2014. These black-and-white prints with tonal values of incomparable richness were executed by the photographer himself. They are from the Ray K. Metzker estate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Les Douches la Galerie in Paris, his exclusive representative in Europe. Several emblematic series are shown together here at A Foundation: The Loop (1957-1959), Europe (1960-1961), Early Philadelphia (1962-1964), Pictus Interruptus (1976-1980), City Whispers (1980-1983) and Composites, begun in 1964.
