BIOGRAPHY

Marco Breuer (b. 1966 Landshut, Germany) employs an extensive and continually evolving range of processes to extract abstract images from photographic materials. His work is in the collections of MoMA in New York, the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, MoMA San Francisco, the Baltimore Art Museum, and the New York Public Library, among others.   He represented by Yosi Milo Gallery in New York.

Marco Breuer’s work subverts the accepted conventions of photography. For the most part created without the aid of a camera, his photographic images are as raw as they are exquisite. Breuer subjects photographic paper to an ever-evolving range of destructive forces: fire, power tools of disproportionate strength, a 12-gauge shotgun, one-time flashbulbs, modified turntables, etc. Breuer’s work raises questions about time, materiality, and visual perception—themes that have been central to his long-time investigations in photography.
