        LENNART NILSSON (1922–2017)

        Est: €7,000 - €9,000

        LENNART NILSSON (1922–2017) | Foetus 18 weeks, 1965 | Platinum palladium print, printed 2015 on French cotton watercolour paper 75,2 x 56,5 cm, in perfect condition 44,2 x 44,5 cm Signed and numbered by the photographer in the margin, Indigo-stamp with handwritten print date on the reverse, edition no. 2/25 Als Nilssons Fotografie eines Fötus am 30. April 1965 am Cover des Life Magazine veröffentlicht wurde, bedeutete dies eine Sensation – denn bevor sich Ultraschall-Untersuchungen durchsetzten, war der Allgemeinheit unbekannt, wie ein ungeborenes Kind aussieht. Die Gesamtauflage an 8 Millionen dieser Life-Ausgabe verkaufte sich am schnellsten in der Geschichte des Magazins, vor Mond-Landung und Kennedy-Attentat. Nilsson hatte seit den 1950er-Jahren an den Aufnahmen gearbeitet, ausgerüstet mit Spezialkameras, Linsen und Endoskopen, wobei nur ein Teil der Fotografien tatsächlich in utero entstand; die Mehrzahl seiner Aufnahmen zeigt Präparate aus vorzeitig beendeten Schwangerschaften. Seine Bilder und ihre eigene Ästhetik – der zerbrechliche, fast transparent erscheinende Fötus, der ruhig vor einem dunklen Hintergrund zu schweben scheint – trafen gerade in einem von Umbrüchen zerrissenen Jahrzehnt wie den 1960ern einen Nerv: als Ikonen eines universellen Humanismus und als Dokumente eines noch weitgehend intakten Fortschrittsoptimismus. When Nilsson’s photograph of a foetus was published on the cover of Life magazine on 30 April 1965, it was a sensation – because before ultrasound examinations became commonplace, the general public did not know what an unborn child looks like. The total run of 8 million copies of this issue of Life sold at the fastest rate in the magazine’s history, outnumbering even the moon landing and the Kennedy assassination. Equipped with special cameras, lenses and endoscopes, Nilsson had been working on the photographs since the 1950s. Only some of the images were actually taken in utero; the majority of his photographs show preparations from pregnancies that ended prematurely. His pictures and their own aesthetic – the fragile, almost transparent-looking foetus that seems to float calmly in front of a dark background – struck a chord, especially in a decade like the 1960s, which was torn apart by profound changes: as icons of a universal humanism and as documents of a still intact optimism about technological progress.
