This rack is where Krause hangs the large Sfumato Nudes. Front and center, the exquisite, classical and timeless gelatin silver print Swish, from 1979, series I Nudi. “My work explores a land that is bordered on the one side by the ‘real’ imagery of photography and on the other by the world of fantasy, bridged with a touch of humor,” the artist says. To date, Krause’s hefty resume reveals 86 solo shows and counting, and more than 55 group exhibitions.
