Guide: Hans-Michael Koetzle, an excellent narrator. His guided tours are very popular and crowded, so I recommend being prepared for that.

I will try my best to meet you at the front desk shortly before 18h.

The exhibition and guided tour are really worth it so I encourage you to attend even if we are not able to participate as a group.

Further guided tours take place on June 19th and 26th in case you cannot make it on June 12th.

Lisette Model Protected content is considered one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. Her images depict urban life with uncompromising directness – from high society to the margins of society.

Kunstfoyer München presents a focused selection of key bodies of work and iconic photographs that reveal Model’s uncompromising vision and her lasting impact on photography.

Lisette Model Protected content brought about a sudden change in photography with her spectacularly direct pictures. Her immediate, humorous, frequently confrontational, yet sometimes also empathetic style of representation revolutionized traditional documentary photography. Her pictures of street-life scenes and portraits combine social realism and emotional expression: “Shoot from the gut!” was her famous credo. This exhibition brings together Model’s most important groups of works from her nearly thirty-year career, from Protected content 1959, including works that have never been on view before.
