Edition Information
Limited edition of 5
Item number 057-09270/000
Cora Pongracz's early work from her years in Frankfurt, Munich and London was hardly known until the estate was examined. She frequently developed extensive series with friends who moved playfully in the great outdoors. The settings already show Pongracz's interest in the thematic field that was to shape her later work: the photographic representation of people as a lively interplay of self-expression and communication between the protagonists who determine the image.
A number of these motifs have been published in the feature pages of renowned daily newspapers, where they illustrate articles on various topics from literature, theatre or social politics.
