Press release

Women photographers of the Bauhaus experimented with photographic and artistic techniques and probed the boundaries of the new medium. They observed the world around them through the lens of a camera and often captured subjects from novel, unconventional perspectives. The spectrum of their artistic production ranges from figurative portraits and architectural photography to abstract photographic experimentation. Many visitors today are familiar with the iconic images, but only a few are aware of the women who recorded them. In this exhibition, the Bauhaus-Archiv celebrates, for the first time, the significant contribution of these women artists and their photographic oeuvres.

A special exhibition of the Bauhaus-Archiv | Museum für Gestaltung in cooperation with the Kunstbibliothek – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.
