Marc Asnin "Uncle Charlie"
Steven Kasher Gallery
This event has ended.
Steven Kasher Gallery presents Marc Asnin: Uncle Charlie, an unprecedented long-term documentary project that details the life of the artist's uncle and godfather, Charles Henschke. It portrays Charlie's struggle with mental illness, isolation, poverty and familial relationships. Asnin chose to use photography as the means to reconnect with Uncle Charlie. The result is a journey that became an
obsession to confront, examine, and understand disturbing truths about his uncle and family. The exhibition will feature over 25 black and white photographs and will launch the book Uncle Charlie by Marc Asnin (Contrasto, 2012).
"There are few portraits in recent American photography more intimate or more remarkable than Marc Asnin's Uncle Charlie series. It is, like Asnin, frank, tough, but suffused with love and awe." Michael Kimmelman, chief art critic, The New York Times
