Born in 1951, French Canadian artist Robert Polidori creates meticulously detailed, large-scale colour photographs. Now living in New York, Polidori, has exhibited widely in the US, France and Germany and the UK. Recent museum exhibitions include the Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2006.
As staff photographer to The New Yorker, Polidori travels to far reaches of the world, often gaining access to remote or restricted locations. He is fascinated by the remnants and traces of life that he finds scattered in hallways, left in back rooms and worn on facades. His photographs are simultaneously seductive and melancholy, portraying the rich colours and textures of neglected and estranged cities, including Chernobyl, Versailles, Havana and most recently New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
We license his archive for selected countries.
