Curatorial context

OstLicht Gallery is pleased to present 'GEORGE HOYNINGEN-HUENE Timeless elegance,' an exhibition dedicated to the iconic works of photographer George Hoyningen-Huene. The display features precious platinum palladium prints, renowned for their permanence and rich tonal range. These prints are modern reproductions, meticulously created from Huene's negatives under the close supervision and approval of the George Hoyningen-Huene Estate Archives, ensuring they adhere to the photographer's original intentions and vision. Baron George Hoyningen-Huene (1900–1968), known simply as Huene, was a seminal figure in photography during the golden age of fashion and cinema. Born in St. Petersburg and later settling in Paris, he studied with André Lhote before embarking on a career with _Vogue_ and _Vanity Fair_ in 1926. His innovative style fused neoclassicism and surrealism, creating glamorous and arresting images. Huene was part of a vibrant artistic milieu, befriending artists like Man Ray and Salvador Dalí. He continued his influential work with _Harper's Bazaar_ from 1935 to 1946, traveling extensively for assignments. After settling in California in the late 1940s, he transitioned to a career in Hollywood as a color coordinator for films. Huene's legacy continues to inspire photographers, artists, and filmmakers today.
