"The MUUS Collection, which is a partner of the fair, is a US-based organisation that acquires and develops photographic archives. Since its founding by Michael W. Sonnenfeldt, MUUS has focused on acquiring the estates of under-examined artists-among them Fink's and Solomon's, which were acquired in 2024 and 2021 respectively-and transforming them through preservation, research, exhibitions and publications. Its holdings also include Deborah Turbeville, Alfred Wertheimer and André de Dienes."
"She sees the exhibition as an opportunity to underscore the pedagogical as well as the aesthetic legacies of Model, who taught at New York's New School for Social Research from 1951 and profoundly shaped the outlook of her students. "Model's teaching prioritised personal vision and creative independence," Havinga says. "Through intense personal mentorship, she transmitted her deep fascination with human psychology and the diversity of human experience to her students.""
