JOHN KAYSER

John Kayser made photographs and films in California starting in the 1960s. His house and the streets of Los Angeles were stage for the private rituals that defined his obsession with female beauty. This singular and secretive body of work spans a period of over 30 years and was discovered only after his death in 2007. Kayser’s work has been exhibited here at Ampersand in Rose and Photographs and Films, and at Delmes & Zander in Berlin and Cologne, Galerie Christian Berst in New York, FARAGO in Los Angeles and The Journal Gallery in Brooklyn. His work is also available through Gerhard Hofland Gallery in Amsterdam, where a forthcoming exhibition of his photographs and films is scheduled for January, 2021. His photographs are the subject of two books published by Ampersand Editions, Sitting and Rose.
