Photo Studio Wolgensinger —Through Four Eyes

The photo studio of Luzzi and Michael Wolgensinger, founded in the mid-1930s, was a Zurich institution for six decades and an important meeting place for the international avant-garde. With their advertising photography in the tradition of New Objectivity, they struck a chord with the times and quickly became sought-after partners for many designers and clients. From the very beginning, they also documented major cultural events at home and abroad, as well as industrial and manufacturing companies, people in their everyday working lives and architecture with a special focus on Zurich. On their travels to countries near and far, they took exciting social documentary photographs of everyday life and work. The exhibition presents the Wolgensingers' rich oeuvre for the first time.
