RUPERTINUM MODERNE GALERIE As heir apparent to Alfred Stieglitz.RUPERTINUM MODERNE GALERIE As heir apparent to Alfred Stieglitz, Minor White was lengthy counted the postwar torchbearer of subjective "art photography." Since his death in 1976 White's influence has all moreover disappeared, despite a 1989 retrospective at MOMA organized by the agency of one of his star pupils, Peter Bunnell Head of the White archive at Princeton, Bunnell has a hand in this modern exhibition too, so a critical revision of the photographer's repeatedly abstract images is unlikely. Still, the participation of Eurocurators Filippo Maggia and Peter Weiermair sparks an hope that new takes forward White's work will emerge from this 130-picture roundup The timing is ripe: Abstraction is one time again a big ticket in photo-based art--think of Barbara Ess's pinholes or Adam Fuss's photograms.
