The exhibition of the work of Inge Morath at the Maribor Art Gallery covers her entire photographic oeuvre. This first major retrospective exhibition in Slovenia and broder region will present more than 200 works. Beginning with her first photographic projects in the early 1950s in Spain and Venice, and the large body of artists’ portraits that evolved throughout her life, the exhibition ranges from an intense exploration of her adopted hometown of New York, her travels along the Danube to Romania, and at the end of her life also pictures from Maribor.
Curator of exhibition Kurt Kaindl will take us through the life and work of Inge Morath, focusing on her last 15 years which she spent working closely with Kurt on 7 exhibitions and publications. At the guded tour he will also present his photographs of Inge's studio in the Roxbury house, where she lived with her husband Arthur Miller.
Inge Morath (1923) was one of the first Magnum members. Her international career is reflected in her life: her family derived from Slovenj Gradec, she was born in Graz, Austria; after spending her youth in various European cities, she experienced the end of World War II in Berlin, then worked together with Ernst Haas in Vienna, with Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris, and moved to the United States in 1962, after her marriage to Arthur Miller. From there she travelled to all continents as a photographer and died in 2002 during a photographic work on the Austrian-Slovenian border region.
Exhibition in cooperation with Fotohof Salzburg and with support from Austrian Cultural Forum. Partner of the project is Gallery Photon – Center for Contemporary Photography.
