until 08.11. | #4762ARTatBerlin | Crone Berlin shows from 12. September 2025 (Vernissage 11.09.) the exhibition Unseen by the artist Daniel Josefsohn.
Crone Berlin invites you to the opening of their Berlin Art Week with the exhibition Unseen, featuring works by photographer Daniel Josefsohn who has shaped the visual identity of Generation X and the Berlin scene of the 1990s and 2000s like few others. For the first time since his death in 2016, Crone Berlin is showing a comprehensive selection of previously unpublished photographs from his estate, curated by Ingo Taubhorn, longtime head of the House of Photography at the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg.
To Die Zeit, Josefsohn was “the greatest and most brilliant punk in the world of photography.” The Süddeutsche Zeitung called him “a berserker with a camera, speeding in the fast lane of the image flood highway.”
Josefsohn first rose to fame in the early 1990s with his legendary MTV campaign Miststück (Bitch). Later, he developed a strikingly, disturbing, humorous visual language through his posters for Berlin’s Volksbühne theater and his photo series for Tempo, Jetzt Magazin, SZ-Magazin, and Zeit Magazin: direct, immediate, uninhibited—always observing from a distance, yet constantly ready to intervene in the scene and never leaving chance entirely up to chance.
When Josefsohn died in 2016 at the age of 54, he left behind a photographic legacy that feels like a single ecstatic journey through the turn of the millennium. Alongside iconic images etched into the collective memory, this legacy contains countless previously unseen photographs. Now that his archive has been largely processed, Crone Berlin is presenting a first-ever selection of these “hidden treasures.”
Vernissage: Thursday, 11. September 2025, from 6 to 10 pm
Exhibition period: Friday, 12. September until Saturday, 08. November 2025
