Obscura Gallery’s 2023 AIPAD booth is a survey of the late Kurt Markus’s (1947-2022) storied photographic career. Markus is perhaps best known for his cowboy portraits in the American West and also enjoyed a distinguished career as one of the world’s preeminent fashion photographers. Over the course of a decade, Obscura Gallery owner Jennifer Schlesinger curated three solo exhibitions of Kurt Markus’s work including The Fashion Years, Monument Valley 2002-2017, and Dunes, Namibia 2002-2008, as well as a Cowboys in the West exhibition, and selections from all shows will be included in Obscura Gallery’s booth. Also included in the booth is Kurt’s latest posthumous book, Christy, which chronicles he and model Christy Turlington’s 25 year-long friendship and travels.
