The exhibition presents Landshoff's portraits of European artists who found a new artistic home in New York, within the sphere of gallery-owner Peggy Guggenheim. It also shows a unique cycle of around 70 portraits of photographers from the period between 1942 and 1960.
Further picture series are dedicated to the architecture of New York City and its inhabitants, with a particular focus on those who have been marginalized by society. In addition, countless portraits exist of prominent physicists like Albert Einstein and members of the Los Alamos project, who were involved in the construction of the first atom bombs.
The exhibition presents a selection of over 250 images covering the themes of fashion, portrait and architecture, that constitute one part of Landshoff's exciting body of work.
