Foam is all about photography
Foam is an internationally operating organisation in the field of photography, based in Amsterdam. Foam allows people worldwide to enjoy photography: via the museum in Amsterdam, our internationally distributed Foam Magazine, via temporary projects on location in the Netherlands and far beyond, our gallery, Foam Editions and via Foam.org.
Foam is always looking for new opportunities to reach, inspire and engage the public. In addition, we are not afraid to break with traditions and to break new ground. To this end, we work together with other organizations and companies so that the largest possible audience can experience the power of photography. Foam identifies, develops, explains, presents, publishes and encourages. Besides showing work by renowned artists, scouting, presenting and supporting young emerging talent is a clear and distinctive quality. This is done in a way that is characteristic of Foam: enterprising, resourceful, surprising and with an eye for growth and quality.
CURRENT EXHIBITION: BRASSAÏ
13 SEPT – 4 DEC 2019
Foam is proud to present the first retrospective of Brassaï in the Netherlands. The French photographer of Hungarian descent is considered a key figure of 20th-century photography.
Brassaï (1899- 1984) created countless iconic images of 1930s Parisian life. He was famous for capturing the grittier aspects of the city, but also documented high society, including the ballet, opera, and intellectuals - among them his friends and contemporaries like Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Henri Matisse. The exhibition at Foam traces his career with over 170 vintage prints, plus a selection of drawings, a sculpture and documentary material.
