2053 - Anne-Marie von Sarosdy (Contemporary photographer. Lives and works in Düsseldorf)

Anne-Marie von Sarosdy (Contemporary photographer. Lives and works in Düsseldorf) "The Milkman"/"Der Milchmann" and "The Milkmaid." Original titles Two works. Lambda prints mounted behind acrylic on Dibond, 2008. "The Milkman" signed and dated on the reverse; inscribed and titled on the original label with the notation "Edition 1/9" and the photographer’s stamp. Works from the series “Heimat” and “Heimatliebe,” which were also published in 2010 in the book “Home Sweet Home” and in the 2010 calendar of the same name by teNeues Verlag. In these works, she plays with the erotic allure of the photo models, satirizing the folksy kitsch of “Heimat” novels and the general clichés of “Heimat,” heightened by the framing of Alpine flora. Anne-Marie von Sarosdy earned her degree in Graphic Design from the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences, received a Fulbright scholarship, and studied at the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California. In Germany, she became a master photographer and was awarded the Heinrich Huss Prize for Photography. Since 1991, she has been working in her own photography studio in Düsseldorf and has also devoted herself to artistic projects such as the black-and-white nude photographs “Body Sculptures” and the “Heimatliebe” series. Each measures 120 cm x 120 cm. Two Lambda prints under acrylic on a Dibond panel, 2008. One of them is signed and dated on the reverse, inscribed and numbered 1/9 on an original label, and bears the artist’s stamp.
