Gyorgy Kepes Photographs
The MIT Years, 1946-1984
György Kepes Photographs took a closer look at a body of work by the artist that has received less attention and study—photography. Featuring rare and never-before-seen photographs that span more than four decades of his creative practice, many of the photographs have been printed from original negatives that are not known to have been printed by the photographer, while others are vintage prints made by Kepes himself that have not been previously exhibited or published.
The exhibition was in two parts. György Kepes Photographs: From Berlin to Chicago, 1930-1946 (September 21, 2017 – March 5 2018) that focused on his time in Europe and Chicago; and György Kepes Photographs: The MIT Years, 1946-1974 (March 16 – August 2018) that concentrated on the body of work he created while working at MIT.
