A sales exhibition in cooperation with the picture archive of the Austrian National Library and within the Month of Photography Vienna.
Besides his extensive collection of prints, Ferdinand Schmutzer left an imposing photographic oeuvre comprising more than 3,000 glass plate negatives and 330 vintage prints. First presented to the public in 2001, his photographic works is now the subject of a critical edition, where it is placed in its context in the history of photography. Ferdinand Schmutzer's visual language is the result of a variety of motivations: his portrait photographs often served as studies and masters for his representative etched portraits of famous people, including Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Pablo Casals, and Arthur Schnitzler. His photographs of landscapes, places visited on his travels, and his family were taken for private purposes.
The fact that Schmutzer was Vienna's leading producer of etched portraits and the criticism some artists faced for using photography contributed to this part of his oeuvre's remaining unknown until many years after his death. The exhibition, held in memory of the 80th anniversary of his death, has been organized in cooperation with the image archive at the Austrian National Library, which holds all negatives from Schmutzer's estate.

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
