Description

In the spring of 2015 the Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art organised a comprehensive as well as gap filling exhibition of Vilmos Zsigmond’s photographic life-work. The core of the exhibition comprised photographs never on display before.Divided into several groups and covering a period from the 1950’s to the present, the set of some 150 photographs presents the main characteristics of the Hungarian-born cinematographer’s creative mind. The exhibition was accomplished with pieces of Vilmos Zsigmond’s film-related life-work with the intention to demonstrate in a feasible way the close connections between his photographic works and cameraman activity, and to let these two branches of cinema art help one another to provide a better understanding of both.
