Henry Leutwyler's exhibition "Ballet" on view from November 28, 2012 through January 6, 2013 at Foley Gallery in NYC.

Michael Foley Gallery is pleased to present Ballet, a photographic exploration of the New York City Ballet through the lens of Henry Leutwyler.  Opening on November 28th, the exhibition provides behind-the-curtain insight of the prestigious dance company.

“Using his 35mm Leica, he explored the performers’ personal space and produced honest, unguarded moments of more than 80 dancers from the company. From classes, to rehearsals, to the moment when the curtain rises, Leutwyler’s images reveal details of the ballet that few of us have been granted the opportunity to see.”

“Henry’s images depict a more atmospheric, and in some cases abstract portrayal of our world.  One that is experienced first-hand by a rare few.” – Peter Martins, Ballet Master in Chief
