Exhibitition: Herbert List The Magic Eye

Herbert List (1903 – 1975) is one of the most pioneering photographers of the 20th century. The Bucerius Kunst Forum is presenting the first international comprehensive exhibition by the native of Hamburg in more than twenty years as part of the 8th Triennial of Photography Hamburg 2022. With around 240 original photographs, the exhibition shows Herbert List. The magic eye like never before, the full spectrum of the Magnum photographer from more than thirty years of work. List left a diverse oeuvre: including mysterious still lifes, nocturnal street scenes, erotic images of young men, photographs of ancient architecture in Greece, shots of street life in Italy and portraits of artists. But List also produced documentation and reports, for example on the discovery of the NSDAP membership file near Munich shortly after the end of the war or on voodoo rituals in Jamaica in the 1950s. The retrospective is divided into seven chapters: Beginnings in Hamburg , still life , Greece , young men , Italy , artist portraits and reportage.
