Barbara Niggl Radloff: Portrait Photography and Photojournalism 1958-2010
Artist Barbara Niggl Radloff (1936鈥�2010), after spending her youth surrounded by the ruins of the Second World War, discovered photography, seeing in it the ideal medium to document the story of the people of post-war Munich and the stark reality of their lives. Niggl Radloff left behind an impressive body of work from her early career as a photojournalist and her many years spent creating portraits of artists. In 2018, the Radloff family donated her artistic estate to the M眉nchner Stadtmuseum Photography Collection. The archive contains more than 2,500 prints and in excess of 50,000 negatives. Her oeuvre occupies a unique place in post-1945 German photography yet has largely been overlooked until very recently. The M眉nchner Stadtmuseum is now privileged to present a major retrospective of her work to the public for the first time.
