When your primary occupation is photographing nude teenage girls, you’d think that would cause some marital friction. Not for Richard Kern.

Tonight, Richard Kern opens a retrospective of his decades photographing people with their clothes off. Last week we showed you a preview of the exhibition, but didn’t offer a complete picture, only some of his softer erotic work.

The retrospective, “Richard Kern: Photos 1980-1999,” opens tonight from 7 to 9 PM in Rental Gallery at 120 East Broadway, 6th Floor. Read more »
Although best known for erotic voyeuristic shots of the barely legal set, a new show offers a more complete picture of the sometimes dark and shocking photography of artist Richard Kern. Next week, RENTAL gallery on the Lower East Side opens “Richard Kern: Photos 1980-1999,” a retrospective of his photographic work. The new exhibition opens June 4th from 7 to 9 PM and is on view through July 5th at 120 East Broadway, 6th Floor.

Whereas Ryan McGinley likes to take photos of mostly half-naked little boys, photographer Richard Kern shoots “women caught, seemingly unawares, in various stages of undress,” according to a description for his recently released book: Looker. The photos have a certain stalkerish, peeping tom quality to them and he’s exhibiting the voyeuristic series in an exhibit at Feature Inc. tonight. The show will include plenty of gratutitious crotch shots and other titillating exposures. Click over for a small sampling of the exhibit that would make even Dov Charney envious (slightly NSFW). |TWBE|
