Photographs by Christer Strömholm at "la Caixa"

After the exhibition "Dürer and his time ", that can be visited until June 16, the Cultural Centre of the Fundació "la Caixa" on the Balearic Islands, in the old Gran Hotel building in the plaza Weyler in Palma, will hold an exhibition dedicated to the Sweden photographer Christer Strömholm, that will be on from June 19 to September 1, 2002.

Organised by the Fundació "la Caixa" with collaboration from the Haselblad Center in Göteburg and commissioned by Gunilla Knape and Marta Gili, the exhibition groups a selection of photographs by Christer Strömholm (Stockholm, 1918-2002). Some of the photographs are unpublished and most of them have been taken in Spain. Some in the "barrio chino" (red light district) of Palma, in the end of the 50's and the beginning of the 60's. The selection also includes the well known work that the author carried out in Paris between 1956 and 1962 with a group of transsexuals.

To complement the exhibition, on Friday, June 21, at 7 p.m., there will be the film "En construcción" by José Luis Guerín. After the film, the director will offer the lecture "Paisaje urbano, paisaje humano" (urban landscape, human landscape).
