Hofers photographs are carefully composed and forego any kind of snapshot‐aesthetics. Besides her pictures of New York, Washington and Dublin of the 1950s and 60s, her artist portraits of well‐known personalities like Andy Warhol, as well as interiors which in a way also portrait the absent residents, are shown. Hofers still lifes are an homage to the Spanish painting, which are highly appreciated by her. | | | | | | | | | | © Estate Evelyn Hofer, Ca c’est, New York, 1953, Galerie m, Bochum | | | | | | The exhibition is a cooperation with the Galerie m, Bonn and the Estate of Evelyn Hofer. In spring it was shown at the Museum Kurhaus Kleve and after its stop at the Museum Moerner Kunst Passau it will journey on to the Fotostiftung Swiss, Winterthur.
Accompanying a catalogue with texts by Dr. Marion Bornscheuer, Prof. Dr. Harald Kunde and Julia Sonnenfeld was published by Steidl publishing house. | | | | | | | | | | © Estate Evelyn Hofer, Andy Warhol, New York, 1980, Galerie m, Bochum | | | | | | unsubscribe here
