Retrospective

5 Jun – 15 Sep 2019
Saul Leiter (1923–2013) has only in recent years finally received his due as one of the great pioneers of color photography. This can perhaps be attributed to the fact that Leiter saw himself for a long time mainly as a painter. After coming to New York in 1946, he exhibited alongside Abstract Expressionists like Willem de Kooning before beginning in the late 1940s to
take black and white photographs. Like Robert Frank or Helen Levitt, he found his motifs on the streets of New York, but at… more

Martin Parr (*1952) is one of the most influential documentary photographers of our time. In his works, the British photographer explores the social reality: illuminating phenomena such as consumption, tourism or national identity from an entertaining perspective, in so much that the banal, extreme and sometimes unfathomable become apparent in the everyday.

A camera doesn’t simply take pictures. It’s a powerful tool against oppression, racism, violence and inequality – it can be enormously effective! And Gordon Parks referred to the camera as his weapon of choice and used the photographic medium his entire life in an intelligent and educational way to both expose the underbelly of the American way of life and to mediate between groups in a deeply divided society. As an important chronicler of the fight for equal rights for African… more

As part of its series devoted to documentary photography, the Kunstfoyer presents never-before- seen interior views of the BND site in Pullach. The photos are displayed as highly detailed large-format images. Encompassing an area of 68 hectares, the area was hermetically hidden from public view for decades behind high concrete walls and steel fencing. The checkered history of its utilization extends back to the Nazi period. Occupied by American troops in April 1945, it was home to the secret &l… more

Throughout her life, Imogen Cunningham embraced the development of photography and the liveliness of the changing times she lived in (1883–1976). The San Francisco based artist chose at an early age to become a photographer and a working woman outside of the home: for her generation two unusual choices. Known for her versatility of subjects and finding beauty in the commonest things, Cunningham photographed the life around her, her family, nature, still-lives, street scenes, nudes, made ex… more
