Germany, 1899-1998). Ilse Bing became interested in photography while pursuing a doctoral degree in art history at Frankfurt University. Around 1927-28 she began taking photographs to illustrate her dissertation and in 1930 decided to move to Paris to look for freelance assignments. Using the new 35mm Leica camera, she worked as a fashion, portrait, and architectural photographer, as well as a photojournalist. During her years in Paris she took part in numerous exhibitions, including the Museum of Modern Art's Photography 1839-1937 show in New York. In 1941 Bing and her husband immigrated to the United States, settling in New York City. In New York she began to work on a different scale, using the larger-format Rolleiflex camera as well as electronic flash. By 1957 she was working exclusively in color. Two years later Bing gave up photography to concentrate on painting and poetry. --- measurements: Image: 25.4 x 22.2 cm (10 x 8 3/4 in.); Mounted: 41.8 x 34.8 cm (16 7/16 x 13 11/16 in.); Paper: 25.4 x 22.2 cm (10 x 8 3/4 in.) state of the work: edition of the work: support materials: inscriptions: inscription: Verso of mount, written in pencil: "[1449-548-D12]" translation: remark: --- CURRENT EXHIBITIONS title: Ilse Bing: Queen of the Leica opening date: 2020-03-07T05:00:00 Ilse Bing: Queen of the Leica.
