March 08, 2022
As one of the first female photographers of the early 20th century, Imogen Cunningham enjoys a special position in the history of photography. Many of her works spanning seven decades will be on view in Imogen Cunningham: A Retrospective at the Getty Center in Los Angeles from March 8 to June 12, 2022. The exhibition is a continuation of the first major retrospective in the United States in more than 35 years, whose first stop was the Seattle Art Museum.
Imogen Cunningham's (1883-1976) work ranges from the widespread pictorial style of the 1930s to straight photography to experimental photography, which includes such works as her light abstractions. In 1932, Cunningham co-founded the influential f/64 group, which was dedicated to straight photography. These works were influenced by the New Objectivity and consciously opposed the symbolically influenced pictorialism.

»The 80s: Photographing Britain«
It was one of the most moving decades in the history of the United Kingdom: the 1980s, characterized by strikes, protests and AIDS. Photographers documented this period and in some cases became political activists themselves through their images. The exhibition The 80s: Photographing Britain opens on November 21 at the Tate Britain in London.

Guido Klumpe
In search of poetry in urban spaces
It is in the context of functional architecture in urban spaces that Guido Klumpe finds the motifs that he stages with his camera as the poetry of the profane. His picturesque images unfold an opulent effect with a reduced formal language, showing us the beauty of the moment in the flow of everyday life.
