Curated by Isabel Siben in close collaboration with Bruce Gilden, A Closer Look brings together 50 striking black-and-white street photographs taken since 1969 in dynamic urban settings including Coney Island, New York City, Haiti, Japan, Ireland, London, and Paris.
Gilden’s raw, confrontational style captures the pulse of the street with unmatched intensity. The exhibition also features 22 monumental large-scale portraits—from Gilden’s Faces series. These intimate and unfiltered portraits reveal the grit, vulnerability, and individuality of their subjects, commanding the gallery space with powerful authenticity.
Together, these works form an unflinching visual chronicle of humanity’s public and private faces, offer a closer look at the raw beauty and complexity of urban life through Gilden’s uncompromising lens.
