Curatorial context
Inge Morath. Retrospective offers an exquisite chronological journey through the life and artistic production of Inge Morath, one of the most influential photographers of the Magnum agency. Spanning from her early beginnings to her final years, the exhibition highlights Morath’s ability to approach subjects with profound respect, curiosity, and deep cultural insight. A central aim of this exhibition is to bring to light her extensive, often overlooked, body of color photography, which she utilized throughout her career despite a contemporary prejudice favoring black-and-white for serious artistic work.
Featuring over 130 snapshots, the collection captures Morath’s humanistic approach to photojournalism and portraiture. Visitors can explore a wide range of her work, from iconic images of figures like Marilyn Monroe to candid portraits taken during her extensive global travels in countries such as Spain, Iran, and Mexico.
