FOTOHOF Hosts Special Book Presentation Dedicated to Madame D’Ora
Discovering the Legacy of Photographer Dora Kallmus
FOTOHOF in Salzburg provides a dedicated space for engaging with artistic photography, offering visitors a chance to explore significant photographic histories and contemporary practices. As part of its ongoing cultural programming, the center frequently highlights pivotal figures in the medium through publications, exhibitions, and public events.
A forthcoming event highlights the life and enduring influence of Dora Kallmus, widely known as Madame d’Ora. Recognized as one of the most prominent photographers of the early 20th century, Kallmus operated a celebrated Viennese studio that drew figures from high society, the aristocracy, and the artistic avant-garde.
What to Expect at the Madame D’Ora Book Presentation
The upcoming presentation delves into the extensive collection held by the Landesmuseum Oberösterreich, focusing on works that span Kallmus's diverse creative periods. Attendees will gain insight into her early portrait and fashion photography in Vienna starting in 1907, her subsequent career in interwar Paris, and her later, striking slaughterhouse documentation produced after 1945.
The event takes place on June 30, 2026, starting at 18:30. While the physical presentation highlights materials associated with the collections at the Schlossmuseum Linz, visitors to the broader cultural scene can explore more local exhibitions and artistic highlights by checking out what's on exhibitions or using Musemap (musemap.art) to plan your next visit to photography and art venues across the city.
