Kirsten Hoving is a photographer and multimedia artist from Charleston SC whose art balances on the edge between fact and fiction. Hers is an art of transcendence and she frequently combines photographs with unusual processes materials and presentations to evoke quiet dreams and half-remembered tales. Using unexpected viewpoints three-dimensionality and kinetic elements she expands photography's decisive moments into visionary states of wonder. Our imagination she believes is what makes us human and our ability to see the world through metaphors stories and poetic allusions connects our minds to our hearts. Over the last fifteen years Hoving has shown her work in galleries around the world and has published several books of her work including Svala's Saga a project done in collaboration with photographer Emma Powell.

Buhl purchased Alfred Stieglitz's photograph of Georgia O'Keeffe's hands. This photograph became the cornerstone of his private collection that now includes over 1000 images by the medium's foremost practitioners as well as little-known and emerging artists. From a photogenic drawing negative made in 1840 by William Henry Fox Talbot to serial Polaroids made in 2002 by Cornelia Parker the collection encompasses a wide range of photographic practices--scientific journalistic and fine art photography--with a strong component of contemporary art. Published on the occasion of a major exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum these beautiful and poetic reproductions demonstrate the prevalence of the hand as a photographic theme; a result of photography's easy ability to capture fragments details and ephemeral movement. The images are discussed through topical texts: why hands are a unique theme Jennifer Blessing the prevalence of hands in Surrealist photographs and prose Kirsten A. Hoving and the uncanny aspects of hands in contemporary art that uses photography Ralph Rugoff. Containing work from 150 artists this catalogue is both a visually stunning and haunting object and a handy resource for the study of photography. Guggenheim Museum Publications paperback
