Anne-Marie von Sarosdy Exhibition

The Milkmaid (c) Anne-Marie Sarosdy "Home Sweet Home"

Idyllic and provocative, von Sarosdy’s surreal alpine landscapes are exceedingly lavish and yet ironic and complex.  Her picturesque epics breathe new life into subconscious dreams while playing with the conventions of kitsch.

Von Sarosdy’s images of un-dappled meadows, strapping farmers and buxom milkmaids capture our deepest longings and reveal more than we would like to admit about our hidden desires.

Acutely aware of the irony in her work, von Sarosdy uses homespun iconography to probe what it is we truly desire. Kitch, art and day dreams. Fun yet slightly eerie, these photographs cover all three bases.

Prints from Anne-Marie von Sarodsy’s book “Home Sweet Home” are on display at the New Yorker Hotel in Cologne until January.
