Lucia Moholy: Exposures

Curated by Jordan Troeller, Jan Tichy, and Megan Forbes, together with Christelle Havranek (Chief Curator, Kunsthalle Praha)

Kunsthalle Praha, 30 May to 28 October 2024

Fotostiftung Schweiz, 8 February to 9 June 2025

From 30 May to 28 October 2024, Kunsthalle Praha displayed Exposures, the first major retrospective following the life of the Prague-born photographer and writer Lucia Moholy (1894–1989). Spanning her entire career from the 1910s to the 1970s, the exhibition presents more than 600 photographs, microfilms, letters, articles, books, and audio interviews, many formerly unseen. It is the first exhibition to place better known photographs taken during her time at the Bauhaus and Britain into dialogue with her work as an information scientist in Turkey and a central figure in the Zurich art scene of the 1960s and 70s. Addressing missing works in Moholy’s oeuvre, it also incorporates installations by the contemporary Czech artist Jan Tichy. Exposures is a collaborative project with Fotostiftung Schweiz in Winterthur, where it is on display in spring 2025.
