Without doubt he belongs to the protagonists of a color photography that has artistic aspirations. After working as a photographer for five decades René Burri can look back on a rich body of work in color which this exhibition now examines and acclaims as an independent contribution to “New Color”.
Thus, the exhibition presents a largely unknown area of the oeuvre of this great Swiss photographer. As a tribute to his 80th birthday, it retraces two main lines of a remarkable photographer life – or as René Burri puts it himself: “As a photographer I have led a double life – one in black and white and one in color.”
An exhibition of the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich.
All exhibited photographs by Burri are for sale on demand in the gallery.
