The exhibition at Guggenheim New York will give visitors a blend between technology and art.
For the first time in nearly 50 years, the Hungarian painter and photographer's work will appear in a dedicated exhibit in the United States.
László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) was a pioneering painter, photographer, sculptor, and filmmaker who also wrote taught at the Bauhaus and founded the Chicago's Institute of Design. From May 27 through September 7, the Guggenheim New York will be exhibiting a comprehensive retrospective of his work, of which some pieces have never been displayed to the public.
A utopian, revolutionary artist
Moholy-Nagy has come to be called one of the most influential artists on post-war art and art education: inspiring students such as Marianne Brandt, and challenging the way in which art was taught, preferring a more functional, multi-disciplinary approach.
Highly affected by Russian Constructivism, he was a social idealist and technocrat who was interested in the relationship between art and technology, and their ability to improve the world when used together. Moholy-Nagy's work explores the concepts of, and dialogue between, light, time and space, with many pieces recognisable for their primary colours, geometric elements and use of photomontage.
"Moholy-Nagy: Future Present"
The exhibition at the Guggenheim New York will give visitors the opportunity to discover Moholy-Nagy's multidisciplinary work, with over 300 collages, films, paintings, photographs, and sculptures as well as his "Room of the Present" exhibition space, designed in 1930 but never realised in his lifetime. The pieces have been drawn from public and private collections from around the world.
After its debut at the Guggenheim New York, the exhibition will move to the Art Institute of Chicago, followed by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
