Heinz Hajek-Halke exhibition, new publication

August 21, 2008

Heinz Hajek-Halke has a major retrospective in Munich at the Versicherungs Kammer, Bayern (until Nov. 2):
“Heinz Hajek-Halke. Form aus Licht und Schatten. Retrospektive”
With 150 photographs and glass negatives the exhibition gives a comprehensive overview about the oeuvre of Heinz Hajek-Halke with his early nude photographs and works for magazines, his experimental montages as well as his light graphics of the the 1950s and 1960s.

Galerie Priska Pasquer had exhibited his experimental photographs at the gallery in 2002 and we were also involved in the organization of a solo exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2002 and in publishing the first comprehensive monograph about the artist in 2006.
