This exhibition is a window into the world of photographer, collector and madcap Kary H. Lasch (1914–1993) and the golden years around the 1950s. The exhibition shows his classic photographs of Pablo Picasso, Sophia Loren, Salvador Dalí, Brigitte Bardot and other A-list celebrities, but the focus is perhaps more on the zeitgeist and atmosphere he so immortalized. The exhibition features around 75 photos from Kary H. Lasch's collection, as well as selected personal items.
KARY HERMAN LASCH – A MAESTRO OF LIFE: Fearless and open-minded, he fought for the moments he wanted to capture, which lead to many of his photos becoming the covers of major international magazines. He began taking photos from a young age, and his childhood city of Prague fed his fascination for architecture and cityscapes while leading him to the language of photography. Kary felt an affinity for photographers as diverse as Erwin Blumenfeld, Philippe Halsman, Elliott Erwitt, and Weegee. Like Erwitt, he took a humorous approach to his profession: serious when needed, cheerful and crazy when appropriate.
