László Moholy-Nagy: The Art of Light

Catalogue of the touring exhibition László Moholy-Nagy: The Art of Light, organised by PHotoEspaña and curated by Oliva María Rubio, which presented the artist's work across media as a single sustained investigation of light.

More than 200 works from 1922 to 1946 are reproduced: photographs, photograms, photoplastics, paintings and works on paper, stage and graphic design, and films, with a commented filmography for 1921–1934 and a list of works. Essays by Rubio, Vincenzo Vitiello, Hubertus von Amelunxen, Frans Peterse, Oliver A. I. Botar, Jeanpaul Goergen and the artist's daughter Hattula Moholy-Nagy, who edited the volume, trace the passage from the Constructivist paintings of the Berlin years through the Bauhaus photograms and the Light Prop for an Electric Stage to the late Plexiglas sculptures and the pedagogy of the Institute of Design in Chicago.

The exhibition opened at the Círculo de Bellas Artes, Madrid, during PHotoEspaña 2010 (9 June – 25 July) and travelled to the Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin (November 2010 – January 2011) and the Gemeentemuseum, The Hague (February – April 2011). La Fábrica published the English edition clothbound with a dust jacket; it is out of print.
