New Vision, New Objectivity and Bauhaus

The 1920s and 30s are associated with major innovations in photography. In the years following the First World War, numerous photographers searched for contemporary ways of depicting modernism, experimenting with double and multiple exposures as well as photograms and collages. Over 200 original prints by the main representatives of Neues Sehen, New Objectivity and Bauhaus were acquired for the Staatsgalerie in spring 2022 with funds from the Museumsstiftung Baden- Württemberg from the Dietmar Siegert Collection. These include photographs by Herbert Bayer, Aenne Biermann, Walker Evans, Florence Henri, Lotte Jacobi, Germaine Krull, Albert Renger-Patzsch and August Sander. For the first time, we are presenting a comprehensive selection of these works in THE GÄLLERY.
