Magnum Gallery proudly presents a selection of more than 40 vintage and early gelatin silver prints by the acclaimed Chilean photographer Sergio Larrain, with a curation by Agnès Sire. The exhibition, drawing from his work in Valparaiso and of children abandoned to the streets, invites viewers to take up the perspective of a reclusive visionary whose photography, at once experimental and meditative, remains as awe-striking today as when it was first printed — if not more. While some images may be familiar, these rare prints have never before been exhibited. Despite a relatively short professional photography career, Larrain’s outsized and enduring impact on the photographic community can be traced largely to these two series from the 1950s and ‘60s. Renowned for producing thoughtful and poetic images, Larrain’s legacy is perhaps distinguished most by his profound ability to capture the ineffable. In Valparaiso, Larrain continued experimenting with unique vantage points and unconventional framing, simultaneously establishing and expanding his visual vocabulary.
