Robert van der Hilst’s early color work from “Shanghai: 1990-1993” captures the early roots of this large metropolis as it readies itself for the great thrust forward towards modernization. Bringing a strong sense of color and composition to his work in the streets of Shanghai, Robert’s color Kodachrome photographs, now viewed some 18 years later, bring a sense of historical reflection after the past 2 decades of breakneck development in China’s financial capital. His subjects and sceneries are at once both familiar and foreign to the viewer. The subtleties and textures of Robert’s works, as well as the overall appearance of the city and its people, are captured by the Dutch photographer as he first encounters a city poised on the edge of a newfound greatness. First traveling to Shanghai in 1990 on assignment for Vogue Magazine to feature a reportage of the city of Shanghai, Robert became fascinated by his first encounter with China and later made a total of 7 trips to Shanghai in the course of 3 years.

m97画廊荣幸地宣布摄影双个展:荷兰摄影师罗伯特·凡德·休斯特《上海:1990-1993》。罗伯特九十年代初拍摄的柯达彩色照片和傅好文最近五年的黑白纪实照片从不同角度为我们呈现出了上海在这两个时代的不同风情。本次展览将于2008年2月16日开始,开幕仪式定于2月16日星期六下午5点至8点,届时艺术家会莅临现场。
罗伯特·凡德·休斯特的早期彩色摄影作品《上海:1990-1993》展现了一个当时正摩拳擦掌准备朝着现代化大都市进程飞跃的上海。他的色彩和构图强烈的彩色照片让观众有机会在经过了十八年飞速发展后的今天欣赏到这座中国财经中心当年的历史样貌。荷兰摄影师与当时处于转型时期的上海的碰撞造就了这组细节与质地丰富,并且充分反映了当时的城市和人的生活形态的照片。那些曾几何时的人和风景立刻带给观众一种既熟悉且陌生的感觉。1990年罗伯特被巴黎《时尚》杂志派到上海来拍一组照片。那次旅程让他立刻迷上了中国。之后的三年里他曾七次返回拍摄。
罗伯特·凡德·休斯特生活在上海和巴黎。 目前正在拍摄大型摄影作品“中国人家”系列。他曾在欧洲,南非,美洲等地从事摄影工作。 1991年出版摄影图书“The Cubans”。 傅好文为《纽约时报》高级记者。自从2003年以来担任该报驻上海分社社长。曾七次荣获报业人士最高荣誉奖项“the Publisher’s Award”, 现与夫人Agnes Koffi一起居住于中国上海。目前正在上海创作一组人体艺术照片以及创作第一部小说。
