The Katonah Museum will present Jonathan Becker: Lost Time from July 14, 2024, to January 26, 2025. This exhibition is guest curated by Mark Holborn in conjunction with the artist's monograph, by Phaidon. Spanning Becker’s illustrious career from his formative period in Paris as a protégé of Brassaï through today, his work features some of the most fascinating and important subjects across contemporary culture. Whether celebrated within the pages of Vanity Fair and Vogue or gracing museum walls, Jonathan Becker remains one of the leading visual storytellers of our time.

 

The monograph, Jonathan Becker: Lost Time, is available for sale at the KMA. Bringing together commissioned and personal work, this stunning collection presents more than 200 images from across Becker’s career, charting his journeys in New York, Paris, London, and Buenos Aires from the 1970’s to the 2010’s. Portraits of artists Ed Ruscha and Cindy Sherman, writers Arthur Miller and Eudora Welty, musicians David Bowie and Mick Jagger, and others reveal Becker’s exceptional eye and astute sociological observations. Published by Phaidon.
