Bruce Gilden- A Closer Look Kunstfoyer May 8, 2025 | September 7, 2025
Bruce Gilden- A Closer Look Kunstfoyer May 8, 2025 | September 7, 2025 Bruce Gilden (*1946 in Brooklyn, New York) has spent the past 5½ decades roaming and working on the streets of countless cities—and has been an official Magnum photographer since 1998.

Photo Book Review – Pictures from Home by Larry Sultan
Photo Book Review – Pictures from Home by Larry Sultan The work was “about family history and the American dream, and how those two intersect,” Larry Sultan told The Times in 1989. “My father bought a one-way ticket from New York in 1949 and ended up in a dream house in Sherman Oaks.
