Werner Bischof. A propos de lui, il est juste de parler de destin plus que d’une carrière. Ce brillant élève des Arts Appliqués de Zurich, doué dès l’adolescence pour les arts plastiques, qu’il s’agisse de dessin ou de photographie, a poursuivi, durant sa courte vie, une double quête.Celle d’un certain ordre des choses, magnifié par un sens de la lumière constamment contrôlée, celle aussi d’un ordre social perturbé par les guerres, qui exclurait l’injustice et la misère dans un monde perturbé par les guerres. La revue Du l’a aidé dans cette démarche qui l’a mené de l’Europe centrale au Japon où il a trouvé une nature et une culture q...
De l'école des Arts appliqués de Zürich, dont il fut l'élève le plus prestigieux, aux Andes péruviennes où il se tua à 38 ans, la ligne est tendue, nette, stricte. Sa courte vie durant, Bischof a mené, avec rigueur et obstination, une double quête. Celle d'un certain ordre
des choses, harmonieux et serein - il trouva au Japon un terrain d'élection - mais celle aussi d'un ordre social d'où la misère et l'injustice seraient bannies. Un sens plastique indéniable, une compassion sans mièvrerie le placent, d'évidence, parmi les grands témoins de son temps....

WernerBischofPictures offers an overview of the work of one of the twentieth century's strongest photographers. Bischof (1916-1954), whose oeuvre took shape quickly over the very brief span of his adult life, is known as a master of black-and-white. His reputation began to spread during a studio period in Zurich in the 1930s, during which time he adopted the "Neues Sehen" (New Way of Seeing), and then it blossomed at the end of the Second World War, as he documented the destruction of Europe and the first efforts at rebuilding. Bischof was very active during the early days of photojournalism and was only the sixth member to join the influential photo agency Magnum. His subsequent reporting on famine in India, in 1951, brought him international acclaim. Several years later, following a trip to the U.S. to make large-scale...

Werner Bischof was born in Switzerland 1916. He studied photography with Hans Finsler in his native Zurich at the School for Arts and Crafts, then opened a photography and advertising studio. In 1942 he became a freelancer for Du magazine, which published his first major photo essays in 1943. Bischof received international recognition after the publication of his 1945 reportage on the devastation caused by the Second World War. In the years that followed, Bischof traveled in Italy and Greece for Swiss Relief, an organization dedicated to post-war reconstruction. In 1948 he photographed the Winter Olympics in St Moritz for Life magazine. After trips to Eastern Europe, Finland, Sweden and Denmark, he worked for Picture Post, The Observer, Illustrated and Epoca. He was the first photographer to join Magnum with the founding...
Bildhalle's press release
In 1936, when Werner Bischof was 20, he opened his photographic studio. The notice on the door read „Foto-Grafik“.
The exhibition takes up this theme. It begins with some little-known early studio work, which reflects the strength of form and the masterly interplay of light and shade which were to become the hallmark of Werner Bischof ‘s later photography. The exhibition covers his time as a photojournalist in a few iconic images, and goes on to pay more attention to Bischof ‘s later years. His photography develops its full power in Japan and the Americas (the USA), journeys undertaken from 1951 to 1953, shortly before his death. His motive in undertaking them was to break free of the confines of commission photography and invent a new visual language. Despatche...

ANITA NEUGEBAUER – photo art basel.
Portrait of the Photographer, Gallery Owner and Collector
‘I wanted to get to know the people who reveal my inner life with their pictures.’
Anita Neugebauer (born in 1916 in Berlin) studied photography at the Contempora – Lehrateliers für neue Werkkunst in Berlin in the 1930s. She is among the avantgarde of photo gallery owners and her collection includes masterpieces classic 20th-century photography. Her gallery photo art basel (1976 – 2004) was one of the first to promote the public presentation of photography at a time when it was not yet being collected as art or exhibited in museums. Neugebauer’s photo exhibitions with Robert Doisneau, Gisèle Freund, Ruth Mayerson Gilbert, René M&aum...
Le Bestiaire imaginaire
Cette exposition réunit plus d’une centaine de photographies d’animaux réels ou imaginaires prises par des photographes majeurs du XIXe siècle et des artistes contemporains qui se retrouvent autour d’une pensée commune : la place de l’animal dans la photographie. L’animal est une figure trés présente dans la pensée, il symbolise nos croyances, illustre nos contes et légendes, peuple notre imaginaire. Véritable énigme, il exerce une fascination, inspire les artistes et devient l’acteur de ses représentations dès les débuts de l’invention de la photographie.
L’animal est au départ photographié comme un sujet d’étude, en effet ...
A group exhibition mainly curated from its own collection, displaying more than 40 photographers and their perspectives on mostly female nude art. Selected classics are supplemented with, in some cases, never before exhibited contemporary works of Blaise Reutersward, Nadav Kander, or Ralph Mecke.
The kaleidoscopic exhibition stretches from classical, nearly sculptural studio-stagings, as in the works of Horst P. Horst, Frantisek Drtikol, or Rudolf Koppitz, to the erotic and provocative images of Helmut Newton or Bettina Rheims, and extending to the series of documentary pictures by recently-deceased Larry Sultan, which originated off-set during pornographic shootings.
The studio-photography of the Pictorialists was followed by trend-setting picture experiments in the 1920s. Artists like Man Ray, Andr?© K&e...
In February 2010 Magnum Photos announced the sale of its New York print archive to the founder of Dell computers, Michael Dell. Comprising over 185,000 photographs, this landmark acquisition takes a substantial amount of previously purchasable early Magnum photographs off the market, to be catalogued and preserved as a study collection at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin. “Early Magnum” provides an opportunity to view rare prints from the Magnum archive in London, which remain available for sale. Composed of work by photographers associated with the agency in its first 10 years (1947 – 1957), it includes all four founders: Henri Cartier-Bresson, David Seymour, George Rodger and Robert Capa; series’ by Werner Bischof, Leonard Freed and Dennis Stock, as well as individua...
The 16th May 2009 marks fifty-five years since Werner Bischof’s untimely death. An important early member of the Magnum Photos agency, Bischof’s roots were not in the photojournalistic tradition. Born in Switzerland in 1916, he studied photography with Hans Finsler, a proponent of the modernist tradition and a key figure in the “Neue Sachlichkeit” (New Realism). Bischof then went on to build his career in studio photography before documenting Europe in the aftermath of World War II. He went on to join Magnum Photos in 1949 and continued to think of himself as an artist for the rest of his life.
Werner Bischof began his career as an abstract still-life photographer, opening a photography and advertising studio in 1936 after his studies at the School for Arts and Crafts in Zurich. The onset of wa...

Magnum Photos and the Flo Peters Gallery present the sensational rediscovery of the first Magnum Group exhibition of 1955.
Research shows that the exhibition "Face of Time" was first shown in June/July 1955 in the French Cultural Institute in Innsbruck. Their existence forgotten, the 83 Magnum Vintage Prints lay hidden in two wooden boxes in the basement of the French Cultural Institute for more than 50 years. Only in 2006 was this treasure rediscovered and returned to Magnum Photos. This unique historical discovery revises the belief that the Magnum exhibition curated by Fritz Gruber for the Colonial photokina in the autumn of 1956 was the first.
This rediscovered original exhibition of 83 images from 8 photographers of the first Magnum-generation is now presented exclusively at the Flo Peters Gal...
Throughout that period MAGNUM never ceased to supply photographs that have become part of the world’s collective memory – pictures of landmark events like the Russian army’s invasion of Prague in 1968 and the Tiananmen Square demonstrations in Beijing in 1989. The exhibition uses photographs, books and texts to illustrate the history of MAGNUM year by year and gives visitors the opportunity to view work by 83 photographers, such as Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Carl de Keyzer, Martin Parr, Susan Meiselas and Leonard Freed.
MAGNUM was established in 1947 by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David Seymour. They were convinced that photography was the best medium with which to document world events and raise public awareness. And they succeeded – the way MAGNUM photographer...
The exhibition offers an entire look over the work of Werner Bischof, the well known Swiss photographer, a member of MAGNUM in the fifties, one of the classics of black and white photography today.
The exhibition is divided into seven sections: Zurich 1916-1945; Post-war Europe 1945-1950; India 1951-1952; Japan 1951-1952; Korea 1951-1952; Hong Kong and Indochina 1952; North and South America 1953-1954.

It was as one of the earliest members of the Magnum group of photographers that he won international acclaim....
« La plus grande exposition photographique de tous les temps » créée en 1955 par Edward Steichen pour le Musée d’Art Moderne (MoMA) de New York.
dward J : Steichen, photographe américain d’origine luxembourgeoise, commence en 1951, en pleine guerre froide, à préparer son grand projet d’une exposition expliquant l’homme à l’homme par le langage universel de la photographie.

(1916-1954 Switzerland)
Helmhaus, CH-Zürich
11 February-17 April 2006
In the exhibition and book WernerBischofPictures we present one of the most important Swiss photographers of the twentieth century. Werner Bischof (1916-1954) is known as a master of black-and-white photography. At Helmhaus Zürich there are other sides of his work to be discovered: large, colourful, astonishingly topical photographs - a world unto itself between art and journalism.
The last major Werner Bischof exhibition was held twenty years ago at the Kunsthaus Zurich. In the fifties and sixties, practically everyone grew up with his images of the flute player and the snowy Japanese landscape: these were the pictures that adorned bedrooms, classrooms and doctors' waiting rooms. For decades, these now world-famous icons of early photojourn...
