« Vis-à-Vis »
There is no photography. There is always only the photograph which gazes back at the viewer. Sometimes with a careful, tentative and questioning look; sometimes with a brisk or hasty glance. But it always offers something: an invitation to brief conversations. The viewer always looks, and the photograph, full of curiosity, gazes back. As in 1966, when the German reportage photographer Robert Lebeck took a portrait of the former German chancellor Konrad Adenauer at his 90 th birthday celebration in Bonn. The image, published in the magazine „Kristall”, shows nothing more than the left eye of the aged chancellor. The rest is covered by the portly body of a stranger. But this eye was already enough. The magazine photo engaged the reader in a dialogue. What really moved Adenauer on this winter day, what he saw or... - Exposition
Exhibition : « Early Work» by René Groebli
Who is René Groebli? He is a blind spot. Perhaps he is the proverbial blind spot, the «Missing Link» in the history of modern Swiss photography.
© René Groébli
The first to notice him was the American photographer and curator Edward Steichen, the visionary Steichen who had towards the end of the 1940s established at the New York Museum of Modern Art the first photography department world-wide. For the museum’s collection he acquired Groebli’s image poem «Das Auge der Liebe» (They Eye of Love). The Swiss also formed part of the monumental MoMA exhibition «The Family of Man» (1955), the attempt at an all-encompassing portrait of humanity that until today travels around the world. Steichen’s successor John Szarkowski in turn integrat... - Exposition
Exhibition : « Early Work »
Today Rene Groebli is well known as one of the most important Swiss photographers. His work from 1945-55 is key in seeing and understanding the development of European photography, through his Modernist techniques and his own timeless vision. In cooperation with Anja Pinter (formerly of Gallery PINTER & MILCH) the exhibition will show vintage as well as modern prints for sale from his famous early books, and unpublished photographs from 'Early Work'. Also the special edition from 'Auge der Liebe',(boxed with a signed book and print - 'Sitting Nude', in an edition of 20), will be available.
Rene Groebli was born on 9 October, 1927 in Zurich. From 1946 he studied photography under Hans Finsler at the art school in Zurich, and between 1946-48 he became the first documentary film cameraman to t... - Exposition
Exposition : René Groebli à la Galerie Esther Woerdehoff
René Groebli est né en 1927 à Zurich. Il prend ses premières photos avec un Rolleiflex en 1942 et commence à apprendre la photographie l’année suivante. En 1945, il étudie à l’école des Arts et Métiers de Zurich auprès de Hans Finsler puis se forme comme opérateur de cinéma et commence à expérimenter la photographie du mouvement.
En 1949, il publie son premier livre Magie der Schiene (Magie du Rail), d’une esthétique radicale par son travail sur le flou et le grain de l’image.

Exhibition : Drive In at Bildhalle
Curated by Galerie Esther Woerdehoff, Paris and Mirjam Cavegn, Bildhalle, Drive In is an exhibition about cars, showing the approach of this subject by numerous photographers, from the fifties to nowadays.
When Elliott Erwitt, during and after the depression era, photographed those rolling dreams with his candid sense of humor and irony, cars, especially the very large and imposing ones, were already a landmark in the American landscape. When René Burri travelled to Brazil to document the building of modern cities, one of his most stunning photographs, «Men on a roof top, Sao Paulo, 1960», is a view of the rush hour traffic on a busy street. Simone Kappeler, another Swiss photographer, drove through America in 1981, 30 years after her fellow countryman Robert Frank, and took pictures with her Hassel... - Exposition
La Fondation Auer Ory rend hommage à René Groebli
D'abord hésitant entre le cinéma et la photographie, il a choisit la dernière. Photographe explorateur, il s'est intéressé à tout les sujets, genre par genre, du reportage à la publicité, en passant par le portrait, la recherche pure, le nu, le paysage. Chercheur romantique et mélancolique, il s'est attaché non pas à la description mais aux ambiances, aux sentiments et à la compréhension d'un certain univers au travers de ses choix.
Technicien hors pair, il s'est toujours battu pour échapper aux contraintes et modes de son temps, contraintes qu'il s'est lui-même fixé. Il contrôle ses sujets, ses ambiances comme ses techniques, la couleur et le noir et blanc, les formats, ...
