Eye to Eye. Hommage to Ernst Scheidegger
Press kit
A photojournalist who worked for the renowned agency Magnum Photos, Scheidegger is internationally renowned for his artist portraits. A multifaceted and multilayered figure, Scheidegger was also a painter, graphic designer, filmmaker and later a gallery owner and publisher.
The exhibition Eye to Eye. Homage to Ernst Scheidegger in MASI traces the career of this extraordinary figure, presenting more than one hundred images. These include a numerous selection of previously unpublished early shots, dated 1945 - 1955, and his famous artist portraits, commissioned from the mid-1950s onwards. In the second section of the exhibition, the photographic portraits are presented alongside a selection of works by the artists themselves.
