bio
Sebastian Lemm, a native of Germany, is a widely exhibited and
published New York-based artist. Sebastian relocated to New York
City in 2000 after receiving a diploma (MFA equivalent) from Berlin
University of the Arts, and continued creating photo-based work.
Selected by Adam Fuss, Jack Pierson and Cindy Sherman to be
part of Sean Kelly Gallery’s “Unframed First Look” exhibition (2004),
which presents emerging artists who are expected
to shape the
future of the art world, all of Sebastian’s pieces in the show were
sold. Since
then, Sebastian has had over 30 shows throughout the
United States. Notable venues
include Platform Gallery (Seattle,
WA), Bank Gallery (Los Angeles, CA), Ellen Curlee Gallery
(St. Louis, MO), and Margaret Thatcher Projects, Pierogi Gallery,
Peer Gallery and Art Omi
(all in New York).
Critical recognition has come from 2wice Magazine, Los Angeles
Times, Palm Beach Daily News, The Village Voice, several visual
art blogs, and most recently, via editorial features
in contemporary
publications H-Magazine (Spain) and Someone’s Garden Magazine (Japan). The book ‘Light and Lens’ by Robert Hirsch features
Sebastian’s work among international artists Edward Burtynsky,
Tim Davis, Thomas Demand, Mitch Epstein,
Adam Fuss,
Andreas Gursky, Jenny Holzer, Martin Parr, Jeff Wall and others.
Sebastian’s pieces are included in numerous private and corporate
art collections.
