They Thought I Were But I Aren’t Anymore… is Larry Clark’s first solo show in Paris since Kiss the Past Hello at the Musée d’Art Moderne in 2010. Covering the whole of his career, They Thought I Were But I Aren’t Anymore features photos shot with a Rolleiflex in 1961, pictures of Clark’s mother and a portrait of his friend, Johnny Bridges. It was Clark’s first portrait, now an iconic work, that foreshadowed what would follow. The exhibition also presents some of Clark’s lesser known collage work, which he has been doing for several years, and his recent paintings and collages begun during his stay in Paris for the filming of The Smell of Us.
An avid collector, Clark draws from his incredible stock of photographs, documents and the waste that piles up in his daily life to shape his work. Clark is interested in young boys and girls with all their faults and magnificence, mirrors of our society. They Thought I Were But I Aren’t Anyore was first seen at the Luhring Augustine Gallery in New York from June 7th to August 1st, 2014.
