Edited with text by Jordan Troeller. Text by Oliver A.I. Botar, Annie Bourneuf, Hana Buddeus, Özge Baykan Calafato, Meghan Forbes, Christelle Havranek, Michelle Henning, Rolf Sachsse, Robin Schuldenfrei, Steffen Siegel, Jan Tichy, Jordan Troeller.

A prolific writer, photographer, portraitist and documentarian, Lucia Moholy (1894–1989) defies categorization. She was as active in avant-garde circles as she was in the field of information science, advancing an expansive understanding of visual reproduction. While previous publications on Moholy have limited her accomplishments to the five years she spent at the Bauhaus, Exposures presents the full breadth of her writings and photographs for the first time. Extensive essays drawing on new archival discoveries offer insights into her early life in turn-of-the-century Prague, her involvement in the radical social movements of the 1920s in Weimar Germany, her wartime documentations via microfilm and her work in the Middle East on behalf of UNESCO. Acknowledging her reception by contemporary artists such as Jan Tichy, the publication demonstrates how Moholy’s interdisciplinary approach to photography anticipated the medium’s post-analog present.

Lucia Moholy: Between Photography and Life 1894-1989Lucia Moholy: Between Photography and Life 1894-1989

Published by Silvana Editoriale.
Text by Angela Madesani, Nicoletta Ossanna Cavadini, Angelo Maggi, Stefania Schibeci, Antonello Negri.

After studying philosophy, philology and art history, Lucia Moholy (1894–1989) worked as an editor and lecturer first in Prague and, after 1918, in Germany. In 1920 she met and married the Hungarian artist László Moholy-Nagy in Berlin. From 1923 to 1924, Lucia studied photography in Leipzig, and when her husband secured a position at the Bauhaus, she embraced the school’s thriving culture and community, producing many of the iconic images and portraits associated with the school, and becoming the most prolific photographic chronicler of the Bauhaus movement and of the Neue Sachlichkeit. Polymathic in her abilities and activities, Moholy is a central figure in the history of twentieth-century photography, although the fame of her husband overshadowed her work for many years. This abundantly illustrated, affordable volume appraises her lengthy career.
