Milano, Palazzo Reale, 21 January - 18 May 2025
A premiere in Italy, more than 100 iconic platinum prints documenting George Hoyningen-Huene's impact in the history of photography. Influenced by classical art and Surrealism, he was part of Man Ray's inner circle, frequented Surrealist artists such as Salvador Dali, Lee Miller, Pablo Picasso, and Jean Cocteau and worked with Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. His shots captured the vibrant cultural context of the time, from Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, to those of dancers Serge Lifar and Olga Spessivtzeva with costumes designed by De Chirico.
