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.

First bronze sculptures by Mathias Kadolph
Patio, Teatro piccolo, Vis à vis
The lively, dynamic and concentrated formal language of sculptor Mathias Kadolph has so far manifested itself primarily through his material, wood. Now, for the first time, he has had miniatures cast in bronze in an edition of twelve sculptures each. These convey essential impressions of his formal ideas and open up to new impulses for our perception.
