Last chance to see Street and Studio
Tate Modern’s Street and Studio exhibition ends at the end of the month (31 August). It’s a concise history of urban photography both in the ‘off the cuff’ street environment and in formal, contrived studios. From the whimsical observations of a young Lartigue to the paparazzi shots of the late 60s, the ‘street’ of this exhibition pretty much has it all. The ‘studio’ element spans the staged portraits from the early days of photography to the capturing of ‘characters’ in contemporary settings.
While it’s not the greatest collection ever, there are plenty of important and excellent works on display that you may not have all seen in one place.
