Kaveh Golestan

March 20, 2014

From March 21 to May 4, 2014, Foam Amsterdam presents works of Iranian documentary photographer and pioneer of street photography Kaveh Golestan
Kaveh Golestan’s (1950–2003) photographic practice has hugely informed the work of future generations of Iranian artists but has remained seriously over-looked in Europe.

Kaveh GolestanThe Citadel! presents 45 vintage photographs from the series entitled Prostitute taken between 1975–1977 of women working in the Citadel of Shahr-e No, the red light district of Teheran.

The photographs will be exhibited for the first time as a vintage set since 1978. Alongside the photographs, the exhibition will include original diaries of Golestan, newspaper clippings and audio interviews that he collected from and relating to the area.
