Ken Van Sickle was always a curious explorer of new technologies.
Growing up in Brunswick, New York, he was intrigued by new gadgets introduced
in the early 20th century, including a stop-motion camera which he owned at the
age of 7. Van Sickle’s retrospective photography portrays romantic, evanescent
moments in New York and Paris during the 1950’s. His travels to France heavily
influenced his work, manifesting a pastoral and salon style appeal. Although
decades have passed since Van Sickle’s photography work has been exhibited,
SOCO Gallery is proud to have rediscovered an artist whose works has shown work
in prestigious museums and galleries including Limelight Gallery (New York) in
1958, the very first photography exhibition at Metropolitan Museum of Art (New
York) in 1960, Witkin Gallery (New York) in 1980, Soho Photo Gallery (New York) in 1988, and
Galerie Thierry Marlat (Paris, France) in 2000. Van Sickle also has an
extensive film career and has worked on numerous cinematography projects
including The Making of The
Lion King in 1994, Marjoe
in 1972, and commercials for international brands including Coca-Cola, Arm
& Hammer, Revlon, L’Oreal, and Burger King. soco-gallery
