Mario Giacomelli, from the series "L'Infinito", Italy, ca. 1987
An exhibition of works by the Italian photographer continues on display at the WestLicht Gallery in Vienna up until August 9, 2015. Mario Giacomelli (1925-2000) is today considered one of the most significant Italian photographers of the 20th century.
A trained typographer and printer, Giacomelli discovered photography in the 1950s, inspired by photo magazines and neo-realistic film. During that same decade he managed to have international presentations of his pictures at photokina in Cologne and at the George Eastman House in Rochester, to name a few, but it was an exhibition at MoMA in New York, that ultimately confirmed his international breakthrough.
WestLicht is presenting works from five decades of Giacomelli's creativity, offering a comprehensive overview of the photographer's oeuvre, which is unequalled in aesthetic and thematic consistency.
