National Portrait Gallery: Black Out: Silhouettes Then and Now
This exhibition traces the history of A box of ten photographs between 1969 and 1973,
telling the crucial story of the portfolio that established the foundation for Arbus’s
posthumous career.
Silhouettes—cut paper profiles—were a hugely popular and democratic form of
portraiture in the 19th century. The exhibition “Black Out: Silhouettes Then and Now”
explores this relatively unstudied art form by examining its rich historical roots and
considering its forceful contemporary presence. The show features works from the
Portrait Gallery’s extensive collection of silhouettes, such as those by Auguste Edouart,
who captured the likenesses of such notable figures as John Quincy Adams and Lydia
Maria Child, and at the same time, the exhibition reveals how contemporary artists are
reimagining silhouettes in bold and unforgettable ways. Note: this is the only non-
photography show.
